I posted this in the drum forum but I'm not getting anywhere so I'm appealing to a higher court. Trying to record drums on one stereo track. I'm using 4 mics; kick, snare, and a pair of overheads. My problem is that the snare rattles on certain kick drum beats and on whacks to the hi tom in particular but is becoming a nuisance. How does one tame that snare so it still works on the snare drum but not vibrating on the other misc low freqs running around? Some suggest changing the tuning of the drums (?) detuning the snare side head of the snare drum, tightening the snares, applying tape somehow, and someone told me they thought there was some piece you could but that clips on to the rim of the snare and presses on the skin(?)! Help! I have a session scheduled 2-NITE!!!
