Hey guys,
A little while back I saw this 10 or something step method for a different type of overhead micing for drums. It seems to be great for anyone who only has overheads and a bass drum mic (maybe snare too). I've seen it pop up everyonce and a while because its so great. I used it twice but now I have completely forgotten it and I didn't write it down (VERY STUPID OF ME!!! ). I was wondering if anybody remembered it by chance? It was something like first take two drum sticks lined up by the ends and put them strait up from the middle of the snare drum, put the capsule of the mic right where this is pointing strait down. Then take the second mic and measure two stick lengths above the drummers right shoulder. Put the second mic there facing strait down. Then there were a couple other steps and the ones I just said could be wrong. Does anybody remember this?
Thanks guys,
Ben
