Hello all,

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.

What is the Evans equivalent of:

Coated Ambassadors
Clear Ambassadors

What is the thinnest clear 2-ply heads that evans makes?

Hi,

There was an absolutely -fantastic- post here a while back that I cannot now find. It was an attempt to analyze the MIDI timing of various styles of drum grooves. It showed specific examples of where one ought to place kick/snare/hat ahead or behind beat to create many popular feels.

Can someone give me a link to this?

THANKS!

Looking to buy a good beginners drum machine but i'm not too sure what's good.The ones i've checked out have a cheezy bass playing along.I just want drums,no bass. Any recommendations? Thanks

What kind of drum machine can get that sound? Thanks for any help.:confused:

Hi! I just got Battery 3 and I have some problems to assign my drum pads to the program. I can't get my Kick to be recognize. I also have Superior Drumer 2 and I never had any problems of this sort. I know my kick triggers the value of B0 and Battery3 got the value of C1 for the kick so no sound coming from Battery for the B0.

Currently I am using AKG c1000's as overheads, sm57s rI'm mounted to the snare and toms, AKG D112 on the bass drum, and another 57 under the snare positioned to also get the front of the kick, with total of eight channels.

Hello,

I'd like a post about this. I will tell you, as simple as it get's, how I do stuff.

- bd mic pointing to the center for nice attack or not for more boom.
- sn 45º-60º towards sn center (no bottom mic)
- oh at 1.8 mts height (if the drummer hits them hard)

So, after that (good sound coming out), I just record and apply the following:

Hi all,

I am relatively new to recording drums and I would be grateful if some of you could share your drum compression strategies.

In particular, I'd be interested to know if you use compression during tracking, and if yes on which mics and how you set up your compressors.
