Recording Drums, Part III: Placing Room Mics

► Want more? Mix better than ever before with the FREE workshop, "The Top 5 Habits of Truly Great Mixers": https://sonicscoop.com/MixHabits ◀

Welcome back for Part 3 of our free drum mic video series.

Get off those laptop speakers and switch your video stream to HD as Justin Colletti takes us through a handful of the most popular approaches for placing stereo room mics.

This video takes place at Strange Weather Brooklyn, and is filmed by Elias Gwinn of Velidoxi and the recording studio documentary series, "Masters From Their Day."

In this clip, you'll hear examples of room mics used in a real-world context: Blended in loud over a basic set of close mics.

Once again, we'll be using a set of microphones provided by Sennheiser, this time focusing on the e914 small-diaphragm condenser mic.

All the clips are presented with no EQ, compression, or effects processing of any kind. If you'd like to hear what these close mics sound like without the room mics blended in, refer to the "Mono Overhead" example from the first episode in this series, here:

Stay tuned for more free sound and video clips on microphone techniques, and a full-featured drum mic'ing course coming in the near future.
