Okay, I usually record folk/bluegrass music and when I do my own stuff if it needs drums, I usually use samples. This weekend however, I will be recording a "rawk" band that will have a real kit. We will be overdubbing after laying down initial guide tracks as we are working with limited attic space. How would you record the drum kit given the list of Mics below. I know this is subjective and depends on what you like, but what would be the first arrangement you would try.
If you want, feel free to comment on what you would use for other instruments as well (bass, electric guitar, hand percussion, acoustic guitar, slide dobro).
Here's the list of what I have available:
Multiple SM57s
1 SM58
3 TLM 103s
1 BLUE Baby Bottle
1 AT 3035
2 MXL 603s
1 Octava MC012
2 EV 635A
1 GT AM62 (multi-pattern tube mic)
1 Crown PZM Mic
I am worried about what to use as the kick mic as there isn't a clearcut kick mic in the bunch.
Pre's I will have available:
4 Channel Sytek
2 Pres on Digi001
2 Pres on Presonus Blue Tube
2 Pres on Even EZBus
APprox. 4 pres on an old Mackie mixer, if they all still work.
I'm interested in seeing how you guys would approach this.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
