Hi friends of Recording.org

Ok, I know that this theme is old, but while I read yours comments in the Forum more dudes I have about the best mics for Toms.

Kurt prefers AT Pro35

Others: ATM 25, Sennheiser e604, MD421, Audix D2, SM57, Sennheiser MD 409, Electro-Voice 468

Is AT Pro 35 better that ATM 25 or viceverse?

Has anyone tried the HM-1 on toms. I record mainly blues and rock and the D2's are fine for rock but are not what I'm looking for with blues. I'm looking for a rounder more natural tone (almost jazz like)for blues and the HM-1's sound like they would fit the bill.

here is the deal, we are making our second demo and wanted the drums to sound perfect but not to pay hundreds of dollars on mics so got it with trigger, after a long time tweeking i got find sounding snare and bass drums, even the hats and cymbals sound well. But those toms, those damned toms! it always sounds unreal. any tricks? many thnx!

Hey everybody, I'm running seven toms on my kit and am currently tracking them with dbx, DDP's and am pretty happy with the results I'm getting. I'm just curious. what kind kind of compressors are you using when you have seven(or more) toms to take care of? . .

Hi,

Hi!

I've searched the forum and can't find anything
about Shure Beta 98 ?

I have a 6 piece drum kit and have plans to purchase/use this configuration in the studio:

I believe I have managed to get a pretty decent drum sound/mix for my current project. It's sampled sounds, played by a real drummer. I'm quite happy with Kick, Snare, Hats and the Cymbals. My only trouble exists with the toms.

Hi, has anyone tried cutting small holes in the resonant heads of toms and sticking mikes in there? It works good for kicks and would lessen the problem of bleed. Just wondering if anyone's tried it before I go cutting holes in mine. Thanks, Don
