I have a basement room that's carpeted WTW. It's shaped like a square but with one wall dented in a bit between 2 doors. It's supposed to be a bedroom as there's an attached bathroom. It's about 14x13 with 8' ceiling...very short ceiling i know. For now, it's my control room, tracking room, and rehearsal room for my two-piece band. There's a drum setup in the room at all times. Walls are covered in absorption blankets. The drummer plays muted by putting napkins on the toms and snares . But the ride cymbal really rings! It's a 22" big one and we just can't get the wood stick sound out of it on recording. The drummer plays very consistent and controlled. But the ride cymbal just doesn't sound good on recording... ceiling reflection perhaps? Tried different mic position with no veil. Will egg crates help? Please share your thoughts!
