i do love smilies...
Hi there,
my band were considering using some of our schools percussion equipment in our most recent (and most ambitious...) recording project. We're especially interested in using the orchestral bass drum - its about 5 feet in diameter... absolutely massive - like the biggest one in this picture
we'd also be interested in using the orchestral cymbals (the two big cymbals you smash together really hard )
i was just wondering if you had any suggestions for how to mic them up... we've only really got access to a kick drum mic (i forget the manufacturer or model... but its pretty good!) a Studio Projects B1 and an SM58... my initial thoughts for the bass drum would be sticking the B1 about a foot and a half away, and the kick drum mic about six inches, pointing into the middle of the drum, and for the cymbals doing something similar... putting the B1 about a foot away.
i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how this could be done.
thanks in advance,
Andy
