Micing a snare drum for use with jazz brushes
Forums
Well, I wish to rec the snare while playing it with brushes: since I am total new to the "Micing world", I will gladly accept any advice about the ways to get a good result :oops:
Actually, I tried it parallel to the ground, 3cm away from the snare: the result seem's decent to me, but I suppose the existence of some "old classic" way to this :)
thanks :)

Bottom Snare Mic
Forums
Hi everyone!
I am using right now 2 sm57's for the snare (1 on top and for the bottom), and it sound pretty good. But I am thinking to try some other different mic for the bottom snare to have different snare sound option.
Any suggestions? What mic do you use or you like?

Snaredrum and bassdrum eq'ing
Forums
hello there
i have a problem with my drum mix. my snare drum sounds a bit thin. i tried to raise the bass on the eq, but still it wouldn't sound fatter. the other problem is, that when the snare and the bassdrum are played together the bassdrum disappears in the mix.

I have been having some problems with the snare drum on my kit. I have a Pearl Export Fusion Kit with a Steel 14" Pearl Snare. On all of the drums, I have Remo Ambassador powdercoated heads. The problem with my snare is that after I hit it rings and sounds really weird. I don't know what to do to get rid of it. If anyone can elp it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi-hat and snare sounds on "Stand up" and "Ev
Forums
How do they get that punch/bite on the drums especially on hi hat and snare, and what reverbs do they use on Carter Beauford'. "Stand up" and "Everyday" have amazing drums sound, the toms sound is a little weak though.
