This is my first experience recording my own drum kit, also my first time learning to play drums. I produce music and will have professional drummers come in for sessions but I wanted to get a good idea of what I’m doing, before wasting anyone’s time.
Overheads - 2x Royer R10. ~ 4 feet apart.
Kick - Beta52A in sound hole. AT2035 in front of resonant head.
Snare Top - SM57
Hi Hat Top - sE8
The overheads are feeding into a pair of BAE1073 preamps. I only have 2 of these preamps to work with. Would it be better to run snare into one of the BAE1073 preamps?
Some of my mic’s I have matched pairs of, so I have options for mic choices. I wanted to use one of the AT2035 on the kick and one of the sE8 on the HiHat, and later another on the ride or crash. I could use the AT2035 pair or sE8 pair, for overheads, but then I wouldn’t be able to use them elsewhere. This is why I chose to use the R10s for overheads.
This recording is my first take after setting gain levels. I’d like to work on my mic placement and drum tuning before I start adding any eq or processing. This mix does have a bus compressor with a few dBs of gain reduction. But nothing else has been applied. Please let me know what I need to work on here (besides my own playing lol!)
