Drum recording – LO2

When recording drums we experimented with different mic set ups and placements to try and get the tone we desired. All of these pictures were taken in our recording session that we had of the 29th of March. In our demos we only used one overhead and a snare top mic.

Kit used:

AKG D112 – Kick drum (We also tried the Audix D6)

Shure SM57 – Snare top

Audix i5 – Snare Bottom

Audix D4 – Rack tom (We also tried the Audix D2)

Audix D6 – Low Tom ( We also tried the Audix D4)

Audix ADX 51 – Overheads
