Hi,
I need an advice for recording a percussion set ( a pair of congas, shakers, rain stick and bongos) in live situations outside.
The percussion set is the main rhythm section in a small acoustic set.
Any recommendations for mic combinations?

Greetings from Germany

Hi
I am a 1 man camera crew! (due to budget constraints)
I want to record some musicians(percussion and-or string-guitar) in a small enclosed space( a music store actually).

I was thinking of simply boom mounting a RODE NT4 stereo mic going straight into my Zoom H6.

Opinions? Would a good cardioid mic be a better choice?

Hey, Im from Colombia and Im into recording a percussion group, similar to STOMP. Any help with that? Tips, Info, Links. thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm starting to record a musical/theatrical proyect called TEKEYE, from Bogota Colombia. The recording is only for the musical part, some of the instruments that will be recorded are: Plastic Trash cans, basketballs, brooms, matches, pans, water cans etc. It is very similar to the STOMP format.

Greetings all,

Can any of you point me in the right direction for some basics on recording a percussionist in a studio setting? I need info on suitable mics and placement for a variety of percussion instruments - ranging from congas to triangle and other metallic-sounding items.

Thanks in advance. John F.

I had started a thread here the week before Chritmas on this subject. I understand some threads were lost due to a bug in the system. The topic was recording acoustic percussion and a number of useful techniques were suggested. Unfortunately I did not save the info before it dissapeared but actually between remembering suggestions and my own experience the session went real well.
