There is a method of micing the drums where you only use one mic called the tchad Blake method. If you've never seen it look it up. Do u think u can really get a good drum track if u only use one mic?

It really depends on the sound that you seek. If the recording calls for a thin, airy, one-mic sound, then yes, it is possible to get a good drum sound with one mic. If you are recording a band like Disturbed or Metallica, I seriously doubt this method will deliver results that will make the client happy.There is a method of micing the drums where you only use one mic called the tchad Blake method.

It's funny how using one mic on a drum kit is credited to some shmoe as a method.
We used to mic our kits like that back in the day because it was all we had. Then we found better ways.
LOL. I hear ya. From now on using more than one mic should be known as, "The RawDepth Method".
I've got this new, outside-the-box guitar amp recording method that involves a microphone pointed at a speaker. It's called "The Greg Method".
The GREG (Guitar Radiating Energy Gathering) Method.....
There you go...it's official you have an acronym.
So I'm actually using 4 mics. But I'm confident that I could get a good drum track with one mic again if I need or want to. Maybe I will once I get something better than a Studio Projects mic
