Recording Drums

thehootman

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone who records bands out there would like to share with us/me how they record drums, as i am looking at purchasing some mics (inexpensive for h/studio) to do triangular miking with 2 pencil condensors and a kick mic.

Thanks

I recorded our drummer into the GNX4 (thru a small mixer) using 1 pencil and 2 lg condenser mics and had some very good results...I used a \"Craig Anderson\" vocal patch that sounds nearly dry....I have 6 drum MP3's or WAV's I could post if anyone wants to use them.
\"Fortunate Son-CCR\"
\"Aint too Proud to Beg\"-Stones\"
\"Rock Me Baby\"-BB King\"
\"Mustang Sally-W.Picket\"
\"Keep yer Hands to Yourself-G.Satelites
\"Hide Away-F.King\"

This seems like not a bad deal;

Thanks for the replies
Yes i have a medium sized mixer (10 pres) so multiply condensers are no hassle.

I have read in various places that some times two o/heads and a kick mic work just as well as close micing, and is easier to set up (and cheaper too).

Does any one agree with that.

Thanks.
