Alright so I know what the purpose of a LD Condenser microphone on the outside of a kick drum (resonant head) is used for (ie. fuller more deep sound) but my question is what do those of you who use this second mic do with it.

Do you just combine the tracks in the mixer going into either software or tape? Or do you keep it seperate.

I need to good condenser mics what would be a good choice my buget is anyhting

First off, I'd like to state that I am completely new to this and I will be asking many stupid questions from here on in, but I look forward to learning all i can about recording.

Can anyone recommend a good pair of Drum Overhead Mics?
Thanks.

WHich one should i use that sounds the best and cost efficient?

I use an acrylic kick drum that measures 22" x 20". It sounds huge in my studio. Then I mic it with a Beta-52 a few inches into the resonant head, facing some 20 degrees off-center and an MXL 63M a few feet from the drum, facing on-center. This is the best combination I was able to find, but it still leaves me way unimpressed.

If I wanted to record a 5 piece drum set using 4 mics, would I mic the bass drum, snare and then use 2 overheads?

Hi!

I'm trying to record drumset for few songs (demos). I got three mics for overheads. Which mics would you choose (recommend) to use for overheads: 2x

EDIT: Here are some sound clips. I posted them down in other replies, but a couple people said I should move them up here. So...

Hi guys! another easy qustion for me...
I was woundering if any of you guys have a recomendation for a good pair of mics for a tom and flor tom...my price limit is around 350$ (max) anyone? most of my recordings are hard-core/punk-rock/easy-rock sort of recordings...

thanks a lot for everything and every one!
