Matt Mercado of Sonic Palace takes us through his mic selection and placement techniques for recording a five-piece kit. And those drums? Sonic Palace's house kit: a custom made Trick Kit, crafted from aluminum shells. The advantage of which being, according the Mr. Mercado, is that you don't have to expend a lot of effort taking care of them.

Pay special attention to Matt's placement techniques on the ride and crash cymbals, and maybe, just maybe, you'll figure out how he gets that "dog barking in the background" sound he's famous for.
