What Mics And Equipment Do I Need To Mic My Drum Set?
i want to mic my drums for recording I have a Hi-hat, snare, 3 toms, bass drum, 2 crash,1 splash, 1 china, and 1 ride. what do you suggest for mics and mixing equipment?
What you definitely need:
- A base mike (I prefer Sennheiser, but I also take them on the road and it has never failed me there).
- Something straight forward for the snare. I usually go for the SM-57. Some powerful bangs for your bucks there.
- You can mix the HH in with the snare (actually, good luck avoiding that) but for added crisp and control, place a condensator mike (AKG).
- For the toms I'd use Sure drum mikes.
- Finally, get one or two overheads, again I'd go with the AKG condensators
Having said that, this is what I work with and what works for me. Drum mic sets have come a long way in the last decade and they definitely look a lot cooler than my collection.
As for the mixer, you shouldn't have to worry about that, unless you're planning on carrying your own PA.
