I'm going to do some drum tracking tomorrow and I wanted to try to get some opinions on the best way to set up my mics. I'll be using a 57, a sennheiser e609, and a pair oh Behringer B5 condenser mics. I also have an AKG Perception 200 but I don't think I'll be of much use unless possibly as a kick mic.
I plan to put the 57 in the kick, the e609 on the snare, and use the b5s as over heads.
Here is my question: How should I place the B5 mics? In xy stereo? Or have one pointed over the left of the kit and have one pointed over the right? Also, I planned on using the cardioid capsules but maybe I should consider switching them to omni.
I realize the best answer is to experiment and try out each scenario and I'll do that. I'm just looking for a shove in the right direction. As of now I'm leaning toward having each condenser mic on opposite sides of the kit with the cardioid capsules on.
Thanks for taking the time
