HUGE Drum Room Sound | Mic Shootout & Walkthrough

Today we're shooting out some different drum room mic options! Trying out 4 different mic styles (large & small diaphragm condensers, dynamics, and ribbons) in 4 different positions - we'll see what sounds cool and take note of the differences between them. We'll hear the mics dry and then walk through some processing together (EQ & compression). Enjoy and let us know what your favorite was! Listening on headphones or high quality speakers is recommended!
