  • which preamps did you use for this?

  • @prit1981 API 212L.

  • is that KM 100 on the hi hat an omni mic? or cardioid?

  • @danmarcelino One of the cool things about the KM100 is that you can switch out the capsule in order to change the polar pattern. You wouldn't want to use an omni mic to record the hat as it would introduce too much bleed from the other pieces of the kit.

  • fuck me that's a great sounding room.

  • @scottiev77 I agree with half of that. It's true that a bad kit in a bad room will sound bad. However, it matters immensely how you position the mics. Of course having nice mics will help the sound, but you can make a mediocre kit sound decent with cheap mics as long as you have good mic placement.

  • Great sounding kit, thanks! I'd love to some to your studio and learn to record my drums like that and when I'm rich enough to afford all those mics too :)

  • I noticed that snare has no "ringy" sound to it. How did you do that? I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of that forever.

  • Snare and bass drums sound godly!

  • in that room, with that kit, with only the 2 room mics it sounded better than anything i've recorded.

  • Sounds great and all but i think he is missing on how he processed the drums. sounds really processed to me...

    

  • Great video!! thanks!!

  • The cymbals that are not closed mic'd are recorded mainly by the overhead mics? Would it be better if they were closed mic'd as well? Thanks.

  • how do you get the mic inside the kick?

    is it wireless?

  • Room mics sound great by themselves! The entire setup sounds freaking great though.
