I have done many different mic placements and expirmentation with drum mic placment/mic useage I wanted to list them here. The cleanest sound I ever acheved was two coles ribbon mics for overheads, a 57 on the snare and a d12 in the inside and a fet on the outside of the kick. we recorded thrua Calrec, by AMS using a gepco balanced snake. This sounded tremendously kick-ass! The rawest tone I ever achieved was a more low-budget approach. I used 3 radio shack dynamic mic's with 1/4" cables into a tape 4 track. Two overheads and one kick. I slung the cords of the mics over the rafters of my garage so they were dangling from the celing. we recorded som very aggressive music and the recording complmented the music 100%. just goes to show money helps, but depending on the sound your going for you may not need the best rig in the world to get good results. what has been successful for you?
