overhead drum mic technique Saturday, May 12th, 2007 in Technique,
Online discussions by des As an amateur recording engineer, you'll
likely run into the name Recorderman when learning how to mic a drum
kit. Recorderman's approach to placing overhead drum microphones is
recommended for beginners because it's easy to set up, and yields
good, sometimes great, results in practically every situ
ation.The name "Recorderman" comes from a user on the recording.org
forums who is credited with popularizing the technique. (Though his
approach has been used by engineers for decades. It's largely a two-
mic adaptation of Glyn Johns' mic setup.) Here's Recorderman's
original post about his technique, along with some good followup
discussion. And this Gearslutz thread on overhead drum mic placement
has more discussion and pictures.Recorderman in a nutshell: Use two
drum sticks as a ruler to place your mics the same distance from the
snare drum, and a cable or string to get them equidistant from t
http://www.chinese-microphone.com/Drum-Microphones.html he kick
beater. Here's the best video description I've seen, to better
illustrate:Recorderman's approach accomplishes 3 things:It places the
snare and kick drums in the center of the stereo image.It ensures any
close mics on the kick and snare are in phase with the overheads.It
captures a balanced drum kit sound, close to what the drummer
hears.This microphone setup is ideal in a few situations:When you have
limited microphones for the drums: Especially when you only have 2 or
3 mics, Recorderman can still get you an open, balanced stereo image
of the drum kit. If you're recording a talented drummer, 2 or 3
microphones in this arrangement might be all you need.Recording with
low ceilings or in a tight space: Drums sound best in a big, open
room. Traditional overhead miking approaches tend to capture a
"smeared" drum sound when used in small rooms, largely because sound
reflections off the ceiling interfere with the direct sound from the
drums. Recorderman's technique gets the microphones close enough to
the drums that this isn't an issue.When the drums sound killer at the
drummer's position: With decent microphones, this setup usually
captures a sound close what the drummer hears. If the drums sound
ideal right where the drummer is sitting, you should consider a
Recorderman setup even if you're in a high-ceilinged space.(Note: I
use a modified version of Recorderman for The Morning Rain drum
tracks. There are a few pictures, and sound samples here.)Previously:

at 1:24 pm Boltoph I like it alot. I am using the same techniques for
measuring distance between mics and snare / kick, but I'm using
"underheads" since my recording space for drums is a tiny room, where
the paper walls keep nothing from my neighbors' ears. May 14th, 2007

sounds amazing. I'd never tried it before because it sounded too
weird. May 15th, 2007 at 5:32 am des Awesome. I'm glad it's working
for you guys.Which mics did you use, J http://www.chinese-microphone.com/Drum-Microphones.html

2007 at 8:04 am des Wow Josh, the difference is hard to believe! Was
the "old" setup a standard XY stereo arrangement? June 5th, 2007 at
9:32 pm Josh Woodward The old setup was my usual spaced stereo setup,
a couple feet on top. They were recorded in two sessions, months
apart, but the "before" was a release candidate for the CD I'm working
on.I'm completely converted now. September 27th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
nathan dwek basically i know nothing about this stuff but i need to do

Articles 10 Myths About Normalization Sunday, April 20th in Articles

as they recede from us, so we're accustomed to the effect.But our
brains also use other cues to determine distance. For example, human
