Micing the Drum Set.
I NTRODUCTION : In the modern studio there is no more complex job for the engineer than micing the drum set. Musically , the drum set and bass form the rhythmic underpinning of any jazz, pop or rock musical performance. In the final mix, it can be in the back- ground, foreground or well out front, depending on the needs of the music.
This, in short, is a description of a typical modern drum set. Figure 1 shows what it looks like from the viewpoint of the audience. In this White Paper we will discuss micing the drum set largely from the point of view of AKG’ s highly regarded studio mics.
In the old days the AKG D12 dynamic was one of the mainstays of kick drum micing; today , the D112 is the modern version of that microphone. With its carefully engineered bass resonance cham- ber the D112 can handle any kick drum with ease. If you want to use a condenser with ultrawide low frequency capability , we suggest the C4000B, with its 0.
directions on the hi-hat and big tom), the sound will “open up” and will seem wider on the repro- duced stereo stage. Details here are shown in Figure 4. By the way , good drummers often know more about drum micing than many engineers think they do -- at least they know what has worked well for them in the past.
If you’re going straight to stereo you will also have to make some processing decisions for the drum tracks. A void any rever- beration; you probably won’ t need it since there is enough overhand in the basic sound itself.
Putting it on T ape: Our microphone count is now up to six, so if you are tracking, lay down one mic per tape track, again, without processing. In your monitor mix, or if you are making a direct-to-st.
The setup, as we have described it, is shown in Figure 8A and B. Do we have to stop here? Obviously not; we can add as many mics as we have remaining tracks. Another useful one to add would be a cardioid looking down on the head of the snare at a distance of about 8 to 10 inches -- but far enough back so as not to both- er the drummer .
