Recorderman's Drum O/H setup.

I did my first major drum Micing the other day and used Recorderman's technique.

I had a hard time getting the over the shoulder microphone to be the proper distance from the kick when using the mic cable to measure..any thoughts on achieving this would be cool. I was only using one heavy duty mic stand with a custom 2 foot spacing bar that had the swivel extensions on the end...

Recorderman Overhead Miking

Forums

Some here may remember the older thread where Recorderman described the way he liked to mic drums.

I am curious if anyone would be willing to chime in with some thoughts, ideas, suggestions about overheads to be used if following Recordermans suggestions.

First off, I have done it already with Beta57's and had some good luck, but I really need to use my 57's elsewhere...

Welcome RecorderMan as a new mod for this forum.

RecorderMan is going to mod this forum now instead of the Producers forum. He is definitely suited for this area so at his request, he can call this home now! He will be replacing Dave McNair. Dave has been gone from RO for over (I think) 3 months, (can't get a hold of him :( ) and because I haven't heard from him I'm assuming he's stepping down. Thanks Dave ! and hope all is well.
