here boys when your micing your kit, what do you mic it to? like just an amp, or a pa, or camera or what? because when im recording videos the sound comes out all on top of each other, you cant distinguish the low tom from the high tom, any tips? please i need them, thanks

[freedrumlessons]

We were in a professional recording studio for this whole shoot. We used top of the line mic's running into a very nice sound board. All the drums are EQ'd, compressed, gated and mixed down. That and they are great quality drums!

[wilfan12]

haha so, could i even get a decent sound at home here? iv only got 2 mics, but iv a 4 way pa, if thats any help?

[freedrumlessons]

Your best bet would be to stick one mic in your bass drum to get a clear bass drum sound, then use the other for an overhead that picks up the rest of the drums. From there, EQ the mic's as good as you can, then plug the audio from the board straight into your camera. You may have to use either Tape Out (RCA) if your board does not have XLR out.

Good Luck!

nice lesson a lot of kids dont realize the significance of learning ghost notes, they're to busy trying to learn solos and double bass

[whiteboy654654]

@MrFreeman420 i fully agree. because im a 17 year old kid who taught himself how to play and has double bass. i wish i woulda waited cuz im way behind in my high hat skills and other places too

[lucas09685]

Very goodd!!!, one question , emm , where yout from?¿

[wilfan12]

@abcabc199494 Emm.. Practice.. seriously practice makes perfect.. Its possibly the one thing you didnt want to hear i guess.. Because i hate when people say practice... But theres no other way around it :) Em.. theres a few videos on youtube that give you exercises for making the left hand stronger which gives you more control.. i never got a lesson in my life but what i found working best for me is holding the stick as loose as possible and then just.. bouncing it basically? lol

[abcabc199494]

@wilfan12 i have a problem with the ghost notes. when i do the exercise with it, i think i cannot handle the power with my left hand. i can't handle the volumn well, how can i handle it well?

[BikeTrial1995]

Thanks for this lesson.. Now to put them to practise :D
