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.

Well, I currently use FL Studio (fruityloops) to lay out all of my drums. This works pretty well, I like what I've built over the years. I don't actually use any midi interface, I just lay the hits out the way I wish and then construct patterns and a playlist of the patterns.

I am starting to do some drum tracks, and I have gotten to the point where the simple GM drums just aren't cutting it anymore.

I want to record electronica style drums (tr808 or 909 style). I have Cubase SX 2 and Soundfonts and a simple MIDI controller keyboard. Ideally, I would like to use a general midi drum map, as simpler is better.

I was intrested in getting some drum software. does anyone know what would be best for me. I'm into hard rock/metal. i know theres BFD and drum kit from hell. Any Opinions would be great. thanks

hi everyone. I have an apple imac, digi002 surface controller, with Pro Tools 6.4. I am considering the dkfhs but ive heard it takes about an amazing amount of space therefore i know i need an external hard drive to ad to my 80gb imac. because i dont want latency problems. i just wanted to know if anyone could help me with what exactly ill need to do.

ok i have no actual "studio" when i record, i just have my room(I'm 17 for christ sake). and i feel it has sh*tty acoustics for recording drums...but dont ask.

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!

In theory it would seem I have everything we need to record our drummer:

• Complete drum mike kit (one for every drum + overheads)
• 12 channel mixer
• Computer with E-MU 0404 and loaded with Fruity

Which do you prefer when recording drums. Recording the raw Acoustic Drums, eq and compress, and know it's all you.
