I was looking at some other posts but have to leave now, so, my question: How do I mic drums effectively with 2 overheads, a 57 and a kick mic? Placement is my issue, mainly.
Thanks!

I've got everything recorded using Tascam MF-P01 cassette 4-track and Audacity on my computer but I need a good way to get my drummer recorded and being able to hear all his set.

hey guys, what the hell am i doing wrong. this is a simple recording of the drums, no EQ's or compression or effects. i've been fooling around with mic placement for a few weeks now and nothing seems right, ..the skins are all fine and tuned...it just sounds ...bad, i dont know what else to say. maybe one of your trained ears can point something out by listening to it...

Hopefully I have The Right Forum This Time

I'm looking for some good drum sample CDs, preferably stored in .wav file formats. I saw the Ross Garfield Drums 1 and 2 (Drum Doctors, I think) sample discs mentioned a long long time ago but I can't find the post and the search function is pretty much useless (no offense.) Mixerman might have mentioned the Bob Clearmountain...that was a long time ago too.

I will be recording drums for a project that I'm doing, and i think due to budget and what I have available I have to use this setup:

Audix drum mics(snare, hi hat, 2 toms, kick, 2 overheads)>Yamaha mixer into my Tascam US-122. Im using Sonar 4 producer edition. I would prefer to use seperate tracks for each but like I said thats not really possible.

1.) I am tracking drums with a Soundcraft Ghost. I have two outboard pre's a dbx 576 and a nice Joemeek (not sure what model borrowed) I was thinking of using the meek on the kick and the 576 on the snare? Any suggestions?

2.) Also, I have never tracked drums, would compress and/or limit kick and/or snare at the recording and/or mixing stage?

Can someone please help me with this.. ok i have a Yamaha mixer, soundcard, cakewalk sonar, and other stuff but i want to know how would i make each drum record onto a different track simultaneously, please help? thank you

Does anybody know why this could be occuring, or what I can do to prevent it.

You input would be greatly appreciated.

Did I make a mistake in switching from Cakewalk to Cubase?

I have a buddy that wants to get into a drum kit for about a grand. I have a decent knowledge of drums, and I know you can get a very cool used kit for a G. We will intend to use the kit for both recording, and live. Any recomendations for new or used? Also I know there are serious brand loyalties to drummers, and I'm trying to stay away from pearl.
