This week will be my first foray into recording drums. I have these mics:
- studio projects c4 matched pair
- sm57 (2)
- akg d112
- mxl v63m
- akg 414
and i am recording a standard 5 piece set with 2 crashes, a ride, hi hats.
Now, i feel pretty clueless about recording drums. If at all possible, could someone tell me what mic to use for what (apart from the obvious like c4s for overheads abd d112 for bass) and what position i should put them in? Also how high should i put the overheads? my friend is always mortified of phase issues.
thanks!
