Ok guys i have already tried the drum forum with noone responding aliitle help please. ok heres my situation. i've played around with alot of different mic positions with the mics. (mainly overheads and on snare). everything sounds good but i can't get a good cymbal sound from my overheads. what i mean by that is they sound far away.. distant. or they crescendo and not have the right sound. I'm looking for where you would put what mics.
The mic's i have are as follows
audio-technica dr-drm Kit
sm-58 (3)
mxl 2001
mxl 990/991 (2) kit
sm48s
audio-technica dr-vx2 (2)
I have 8 mic stands
and
a 6 piece kit
any thoughts on if i should buy different mic's. I'd like to do it with what I have, but if thats not a good option then I will buy different mics.
im also not looking for a great sound, obivously but something to get the job done.
