We're going to start making some live multitrack gig recordings of the band with a StudioLive desk, but I want to start recording some rehearsals as well for listening back purposes later.

What mics give the toms a lot of flexibility from style to style?

Obviously won't record jazz toms the same as rock toms... what mic will give me a lot of room to move?

Thanks

Kick- AKG112D or Shure Beta52 ?
Snare- 2x Shure sm57
Toms- 3x Sennheiser MD 421
Overheads- sE electronic SE1A stereo pair

Thats it. Is there anything u suggest me to change? (sept sE mics coss i like tham).
+ I'm thinking to buy those sE reflection filters for drums... Does anyone have some experiance with tham?

Need ideas for Micing a drum set.

Snare: e 609, sm 57
Toms: Beta 56A, e 609
Kick: Beta 52, e 602, AKG D 112

ok, i'm trying to make a decision between two sets of drum mics.

Beyerdynamic Sweetwater Opus Drum Pack for $1300
-vs-
Audix DP Elite 8 Drum Microphone Pack for $1200

I'm buying them for both studio recording and live recording. can anybody give me some feedback?

Im trying to buy some budget gear to get me started, and my main thing right now is drum mics. Im getting the PreSonus firepod as a preamp and interface, and ive already got software and everything for my comp.

Anyways i cant figure out what mics to get! Can someone just give me a few pointers as to what mics i should buy that will get me the best sound?

Anyone know anything about them? I was looking into the Samson 8kit because it seems to have pretty good reviews but I'm not sure. Any suggestions for pieces of the set I should replace and maybe with what?

Hi everyone!

I need mics to record my drumkit into my FF800.
As I was looking for some ideas, I have found this kit which seems not bad at all and in my price range!
the ElectroVoice-PL-DK7-Drum-Mic-Pack

I like the RE20 and believe that Electro-Voice is a brand I can trust, BUT, today everybody is launching his own drums kit which can be cheap on sound and quality.

hello everyone I'm new to the site and somewhat to recording dabbled a little bit here an there anyway just wanted to get some input on overhead drum Micing the thing is i dont have a matched stereo pair of condersers but i do have two there both medium budget mxl's a 603 and 2003 which is more a vocal mic

hey there,

I must mixing a musical with a rockband. so I must buy some new MIcs for the Drumkit. The Drumkit will be behind a Drumshield. It's a small Jazz Drumset and must sounded a little bit Funky ! So, what Mics you advice me for the Set ? Kick, Snare, HH, 1 Tom and 1 Floor Tom and 2 Overheads.

Thanks and greatings from Germany
