Nice. Ive thought about micing that way. It seems like it might make it more punchy/defined/concentrated, from my imagination, and stronger. The results ive had from micing the top before, seemed sort of....weak, asif youre hitting hard but it doesnt really pick that up, in a way Although that might have just been my lack of recording knowledge. Anyway what mikes do you have on the toms? Would you use the same kind of mics you might use micing the top head, for the undearneath?
I used Audix Fusion mics on the toms - I forget the model number, but they are designed specifically for toms. They are the same mics as I would use if micing from the top; the difference being that because of the isolation you get by micing from underneath, you don't have to have the levels quite as high, meaning that you will get less bleeding from the other drums, which ultimately means more dynamic headroom.
No, Im using alternate hardware for the vid. That hi-hat stand is actually a Pulse Percussion stand that I paid $40 for from Musicians friend. I don't know if they still carry them any more, but it's probably comparable to the $120 Pearl 900 series stand. Ditto for the boom stands and the snare stand, also $40 a piece.
Your recorded your drums very well. I find the kick a bit boomy, but that's a personal preference ;). The Hi Hat and the Overheads have a perfect sound. I'm watching your video because I'm thinking about buying the fast track ultra 8r and after watching your video it's like: "Yeah, I'll buy it".
M-Audio was a cheap company not so many years ago, but I think nowadays M-audio is building a place in the high end audio industry
This sounds so professional! I love it. I also have Audix fusion mics that I use live for my church. I am getting a Pearl traveler this christmas. Great idea micing them underneath.
men i cant believe that the sound came from rhythm traveler. men i got to buy one. what are the head that you use men? nice job how did you made the sound of the bass sound soo full?
I'm using Remo Pinstripes on the toms. A big part of the sound comes from the fact that I mic them underneath - a lot more sound is captured that way.
On the bass, Im using an Aquarian Superkick II on the batter side, and a ported head on the front. I use Remo Muff'l ring on the front. I positioned the mic right in the middle of the hole, aimed at the point where the pedal beater hits the head. But I've gotten an even fuller sound in the past by slightly changing the mic position.
The snare, by the way, is a Pacific 6x10 805 series with a regular ambassador head, tuned high. I mic the air vent, about 2" away, to get the airy sound.
