Since a day or two I am recording drums and I am very happy with the sound I get by close micing, but not so happy with my overheads.
The thing is that I don't want them to pick up to much of the other parts of my kit but just the cymbals.
For instance when I am setting up gain level at the OH channel, it peaks on snare but not when I hit the cymbals.
A very important thing for me is my ride cymbal so that one should be heard loud in the mix and not like some sort of ambience.
I have 2 SP B3's and a C1 than have to do the job.
My setup is: kick, snare, rack tom, floor tom, hi hat, ride (between the toms), two crashes and a china.
I've allready tried spaced pair but not x/y. How should I place them, at what height, which pattern should I use and should I switch -10 db or hpf?
Thanx
Marc
