I'm curious as to what people use for drum mic mounts. I am Micing kits with three e604's on the toms and a 57 on the snare, d112, overheads etc, but the mzh 504 mounts that came with the e604's stick the mic almost into the middle of the drum.

I'm considering two options right now, the mzh 604, and the Shure a56d mounts.

i need mics for a drumset. could you guys give me some good recomendations for the toms, the snare, kickdrum, and overhead?

i have the sm57 for snare in mind, that good?
i'm just starting to record

thanks

This is my first post here, hi!

RVK7 Drum kit microphone set. Around £200 quid,. Does anyone know what kind of quality these would be? anyone know of any other similar priced solutions? cheers, isaac.

What are some good low-cost (< $150) kick drum and small diaphram condensers? The small-diaphram would be used for drum overheads and for recording acoustic guitar as a stereo pair.

I play drums in a cover band that gigs often. Small to medium clubs and outdoor functions as well. I woulld like to overhead vs close mic. I have a Shure Beta 52 for the kick and Shure SM57 for snare.

I am using a seven piece samson drum mic set.
-2x o/head condensers
-1x snare
-3x toms
1x kick.

Does anyone else use these mics, or had any experience with them?

If so any inherent issues with them?

Any tips for thier use?

How do they go with other instrument recording? If OK what combinations?

Guzzy :-?

I'm preparing to produce my first of many, more following, live recording sessions in the studio. This a transition I've been looking forward to and want to start off on the best foot possible. I will be recording live bass, guitar, keyboard and drums. I believe I'm fine for everything except for the drums. I've been looking to better equip my mic cabinet and now I'm being forced to.
