The Basement - Drum Recording Techniques You Should Know

(please watch in high quality, the video's better but more importantly the sound is better! Also this one will sound much better on headphones due to the importance of the stereo imaging.) NOTE: The heads used in this video were very old stock heads, beaten up to the point that even tuning them did not make them sound great (which is how they are in the video - tuned, but old as hell). I have responded to many comments about this. This is a video about recording technique, it is not intended to be a demo of what an amazing drum sound is like, take it for what it is. There was no EQ used on these tracks, just a bit of ITB compression to help the sound transfer to Youtube better (hopefully). Correction: In the video I said I used a D12 on kick, but I meant to say D112. Two definitely different mics! Mics used: XY: (2) MXL 603S Spaced pair: (2) MXL 603S Recorderman: (2) MXL 603S Glyn Johns: (2) MXL 603S (you should use matched LDCs in stead of SDCs if possible), SM57, AKG D112 Close micing: (2) MXL 603S, SM57, AKG D112, Nady DM70, Nady DM80 Observations: XY: Stereo spread isn't too wide, so it's great in places you might use mono drums but want a little more depth. Not the best reproduction of toms, but easy to get a good snare and kick sound. Spaced Pair: More high end frequencies than the other techniques. Much wider stereo image than XY, sounds a bit unnatural but is a great way to add stereo information to mixes that are mostly mono/panned center. Recorderman: Similar ...
