Drum kit preference from a mixer's POV

Submitted by mdb on Thu, 02/10/2011 - 14:11

From your point of view, do you prefer mixing an acoustic or electronic drum kit? An acoustic kit might be more challenging and fun (mic choice, placement, mixing w/ gates, comps etc.), but an electronic kit removes stage noise and gives far more control over the overall mix. What do you think and have you had the opportunity to mix both?

Electronic drum kit expansion

Submitted by alitmaxwell on Mon, 01/10/2011 - 15:41

Hello,

For example: If I had an electronic drum kit (eg a DD502) and fancied expanding it, would I be able to, for example, plugin a Roland Ride cymbal (dual trigger) into the brain, and then send the Midi out to a computer and trigger samples with BFD2, utilising the dual trigger nature of the pad?

Front of drum kit miking: how do you do it?

Submitted by gunsofbrixton on Mon, 08/02/2010 - 14:35

Hi.
I read some forum threads and posts on drum recording. One thing that interests me is FOK Micing (it stands for front of kit, right?). I am definitely gonna try and put one or two mics in front of the kit in addition to the the room mics. I thought it would be cool to get some inspiration on how to set them up from people who are using FOK mics.

Micing A Heavy Metal Drum Kit

Submitted by soapfloats on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 22:50

This isn't so much a question, as an example of how I recently mic'ed a metal drum kit for a session.
All I was recording was the kit (minus a few scratch tracks), so my resources were plentiful.
Also, I am not mixing this project - my purpose was only to provide enough quality drum tracks for the mix engineer to work with.
