13.2.5 Drum Overheads (XY example)
Place two small-diaphragm
condenser microphones on an XY
stereo-microphone holder (bar).
Position the microphones so that
each one is at a 45-degree angle,
pointed down at the drum kit,
approximately 7 or 8 feet above the
floor or drum riser. Experiment with
height. This technique can be used in
live applications as well.
13.2.6 Snare Drum (top and bottom)
Point a dynamic microphone at the center of the snare, making sure it is placed so
that the drummer will not hit it. Place a small-diaphragm condenser microphone
under the drum, pointed at the snares. Experiment with the placement of
both microphones. Also experiment with inverting the phase of the bottom
microphone. This technique can be used in live applications.
