Mixer for Drums - 12 XLR condenser mics & band
Forums
New here and also new at this.
I'm trying to find a mixer for drums and hopefully band as well.
Drums have 12 XLR condenser mics, all needing phantom power.
I'm thinking of 16-24 channels, but like I said, I'm brand new to mixing and I would appreciate any and all help.
It would be nice to be able to record as well, but a mix is the main thing here.
Shure PGDMK6 6 pack drum mics?
Forums
Hi,
I am looking for a decent quality drum mic package that can be used for recording practices live off the floor (for recording demos for club owners) and also for live playing in small clubs. I have invested most of my money in my kit which kicks a** (6 piece Yamaha Recording Customs).

Drum Mic Choices?

I'm looking for opinions on drum mics and overhead mics. I've heard good things about RODE NT 5s and also SENNHEISER e614s for overhead micing. Also curious about choices for drum mics? Thanks in advance, Tony

compression on overhead drum mics
Forums
i'd be Micing each drum individually so they will just be for cymbals. is it worth getting a 2 channel compressor? i'll probably use an ART DMPA for a preamp.

Looking for versatile kick drum mic
Forums
I am looking for suggestions for a versatile kick drum mic. Something that can get a tight rock/funk sound on a 22", and get an open jazz sound on an 18". Any recommendations? Considering Audix D6, AKG D112, Shure Beta 52.
Any comments on these, or other mic.s would be appreciated.

who knows what drum mic technique was used in.
Forums
just curious if anyone knows what drum Micing techniques were used by any of todays albums available in stores/heard on the radio. it seems to be the consensus with everyone i know personally(which isn't saying a whole lot where i'm at), to mic every top skin with a dynamic, a condensor over the hi hat, and a stereo pair of condensers over the cymbols. and i know about placement and all that.

4 mics, metal drums
Forums
Hi,
I am going to try and track drums day after in my small recording room (10x10 feet). fortunately, the band listens to me and is willing to spend time and experiment (at least till the neighbours start yelling!).
the drummer set up the kit today and we tried a few Micing situations.
this is what I have :
