So we have about 2 condensers and 1 sm57 for my snare. Ad we have about 8 vocal mics. Is there any easy way to record drums with vocal mics?

Me and my band Last Souls Alive (http://www.myspace.com/golastsoulsalive)

We are going to record 2-3 demos 14th of January. Now I have a question about drumrecording.

Hello everyone,

Though this is my first post at recording.org, I have searched the forums for a couple years now. I have been a Pro Tools user for 3 years, and have been certified since May.

Hi. I would like to ask, what position of overheads is better by drum recording. I use X/Y type of overhead position, but in some recording seminars, thah lern to record drum kit as well, explain Stereo/Mono mode and 3 in 1 rule. I now that there are more another types, byt i want to lern about this (X/Y or Stero/Mono). Please explain which type is better.
Thanks

Hey everyone, I recently spent all my money on a MacBook and a Firepod, and I need to wait a bit to get some mics. The only things I have available to me at the moment are 2 SM58s and 2 passive whirlwind DI. Soon I hope to upgrade to RODE NT5s.

So what microphone am I seeing in the kick drum around 1:40ish - i think i see a Senheisser 412, but what's that skinny almost rectangular microphone in there? Any idea? I see about 3 microphones the 412, the AKG D112 stuck just in the hole and then that skinny unknown microphone

Dear Engineers,

We are trying to record our jazz trio inside a small ..13'x19'x9' room.

looking at everything from the front, it's just like a 13x19 stage and if you are on the audience side looking at the stage, here how we are set up in the room:

Grand Piano on the left , Drums in the center, Upright Bass on the right

Hey there,

Sometime soon my band will start recording a album and I'm wondering weather it's worth tracking drums at a studio on 2" tape. I would get the tape transferred to digital format so I could load it up on Pro Tools and do everything else at my studio.

hi i was wondering if u can help a newbie like me in recording drums. my question is I'm looking to make a dance song i know kick drum, bass, snare should be mono when recorded but I'm clueless about toms, hi-hats, and crash cymbals should they be recorded mono or stereo. if I'm right at the final mix down the whole drum kit should be stereo correct me if I'm wrong.

I am running a Digi 003 with a MBP and basically wanted to get some techniques on recording drums in sections, then putting them together for a final mix. I can play drums, but to play a song from start to finish to a click track would be nearly impossible. I am going to be playing the drums, as well as using the computer, so I guess you could say I am flying solo on this one.
