Drum Overheads (XY example)
Place two small-diaphragm
condenser microphones on
an XY stereo-microphone
holder (bar). Position the
microphones so that each
one is at a 45-degree angle,
pointed down at the drum
kit, approximately 7 or 8 feet
above the floor or drum riser.
Experiment with height. This
technique can be used in
live applications as well.
Snare Drum (top and bottom)
Point a dynamic microphone at the center of the snare, making sure it
is placed so that the drummer will not hit it. Place a small-diaphragm
condenser microphone under the drum, pointed at the snares.
Experiment with the placement of both microphones. Also experiment
with inverting the polarity of the bottom microphone. This technique
can be used in live applications.
