Hi.
I am not that experienced at recording drums. I have never recorded drums in what I would call a "decent quality", but I really want to. Basically what I am asking in this post is:
1) What are my alternatives when it comes to recording drums (ie - what types of mics should I buy?) (condenser, vocal, drum mics?)
2) What are the price ranges for the above options?
3) What type of mixing should I apply to get an "alt rock" sound (say, Brand New, The Bravery, or maybe even The Arcade Fire)
Also, I am using an old DW set. The bass drum is 24" and the toms are 12" and 14". The bass drum is muffled with a blanket and the toms with a self-adhesive foam material that goes on the inside of the drum (and I really like the sound it makes). I think I've covered all the bases here. If not, just ask and I'll tell you everything you need to know.
Thanks a lot guys!
