Recording Drums
Hi,
Here is my case, I need to record some drum tracks using the following mics: sm57, sm58, beta 52a kick, and 2 akg c1000 condensers. Does anyone have any suggestions on mic placement? Also, I will be recording some vocal tracks with these same mics availible.....any suggestions there? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! |

The 57 is the only good recording mic you have, but you can try the c1000's as overhead's in a stereo pair config. Throw the 52 on the kick drum and the 57 on the snare. Dich the 58 all together. Both the 58 and the 52 are more for SR work but you should get an ok sound from the 52 on the bass drum. Also, I will be recording some vocal tracks with these same mics availible.....any suggestions there? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! Again the 57 would be my pick for vocals, but give the c1000 a try and pick the best of the two. |

Good room, good drums, good DRUMMER, lots of time.
Also, try to get the most out of the stereo overhead mics, THEN add in the close mics. Otherwise itll sound very fake, from my experiences. you want that ambience, and thats why you also want a good room. good luck.
