hello ppl

I need help on recording two indian instruments...the Tabla and the Thavil http://www.indian-instruments.com

hi I'm trying to record a set of tablas but on the left hand drum I'm having a lot of difficulty getting the thumping bass i do live when using a sm57. In my room or any smaller room the sm-57 sounds thin. I've tried my studio projects c1, MXL v69 tube mic, its better but the tube sound doesn't have the clarity i need.

Thanks

I'll be recording a Tabla player for the first time in a couple of days. While I've recorded hand drums, they were always open drums.

Anyone have advice on how to mic Tabla ?

Thanks, Kirk

Hello again Ladies and Gentleman,

Anyway on to the question of the day.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
