Frequently Asked Questions

How should I position a snare drum microphone for the best sound?
To achieve the best sound, position the snare drum microphone about 12 inches above the drumhead and slightly off centre, aiming towards the middle of the snare. This placement captures the drum's full tone and minimises the risk of picking up unwanted vibrations from other drums.
Can I use a condenser microphone for drum overheads?
Yes, condenser microphones are excellent for drum overheads. They capture a wide frequency range and provide a detailed, natural sound. Position them evenly above the drum kit to capture a balanced stereo image of the entire set, ensuring clear and precise audio reproduction.
How do I reduce bleed in my drum recordings?
To reduce bleed in drum recordings, use close miking techniques and directional microphones, such as cardioid or hyper cardioid patterns, to focus on individual drums. Additionally, placing sound absorbing materials around the drum kit and using gates or noise reduction plugins during mixing can help minimise unwanted bleed.
