Original Message 1/2 22-Jul-00 @ 02:46 PM - miking drum sets
Im looking for some info on how to record drums (like where to put the microphones etc). I want to achieve the warm drum sound typical for the soul/funk of the early 70īs and i wonder what equipment to use to get this sound. How important is the choice of microphones compared to the tuning of the drums? How is the signal from each microphone processed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmm.... ok first the snare... use a remo batter head.. one of the quilted thick ones.. tuned up high... you'll get a 70's tite snare sound.. otherwise use the old yellow house duster under the top head trick - you want a highish fat thick 'padded' snare sound
second the room... close micing in sound deadened studio's was the norm, also to get the best sepearation... so that has to be attended to and you'll simply NOT get the sound if there is room abience.
so first... can you acheive those two criteria ?? you need to build something round the kit... THICK padded floor carpet, and some walls or hangings (padded/absorbant) around the kit, plus a top if the ceiling is very reflective.
