Let me see what I can get posted for you tonight (ugh, no helper to take pictures, so hopefully the tripod will do it.). Once you see it it is so derned easy and makes for perfect phase and stereo imaging. Here is a YouTube of it in use: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IiFOD1EeKhQ My only real...

Well, tuning the drums and the player is 80% of the sound. Past that, get really good at mic placement and compression... compression both to bring out the transient and kill the decay as well as smash the transient for fattening... I often run two compressors in a row... The first kills the...

Yes, a spaced pair. My sneaky trick is a quasi Recorderman setup. I place the first OH over the rack toms/crash so it is roughly half way between the kick and snare. Then I take a string and masking tape... tape one end of the string to the top rim of the kick, pull the string to the mic and...

Get rid of those cheapo CADs and pick up the AT4050s. I use them for OHs and love them and you'll have no need to mic any other cymbal looking device. Not to mention the 4050s sound great on vocals and acoustic instruments (guitars, basses, cellos, violins, woodwinds, etc) in general. They are...

What Ray said, but if you do like the sound of them... get closer as everyone has mentioned. They are designed to have a very controlled proximity (take the wind screen off of the SM7 and see how the capsule is set back in the cage) effect and you need to eat those mics... like 1-2" from the...

It will work... Not necessarily ideal... but it will work. The only thing to be wary of is the SPL being too much as the the MSH1 tops out at like 122db... so don't get too nuts.

For the price, I might not even screw with tom mics. Get the OHs positioned well and you may be just peachy. Lots of folks do the Recorderman set up with nothing more than OHs, kick and snare and get good results... then if you find you need it, add mics later. However, I would recommend for...

The pre on all the instruments is a Universal Audio 4110. i5 on all cabs, bass is just a DI compressed to hell, one amp is a Laney TT20 with a Mercury Magnetics transformer and JJ tubes, the other a Fender Deluxe reverb (well, maybe we used the Laney on both, don't remember). Drums: i5 snare, i5...

I use a bunch of those large (like 12x10x10) air tight food storage containers. Everything stays in its respective pouch or case and I make home made desicants out of panty hose I cut maybe a 12" section and tie the ends like a sausage) and silica gel cat litter. (You can find this cat littler...

Here is a rough mix (no EQ or anything) of a tune my band is fleshing out... i5 on snare, cabs, rack tom if that gives you any sort of idea. http://warsaw.innova-partners.com/~cburke/TheSlang/BigGetEven.mp3

I am an i5 fan myself. I use it on snare and cabs all the time with quite excellent results. I also have 57s and MD421s. The MD421 I often use on cabs and toms as it is butter, but I have never been nuts about it on snare. The 57s never get touched anymore. So the i5 is my swiss army knife pick...

Huh... things have changed. Every one I got my hands on was pretty different.

Um, I have myself. What mrface says is pretty much right on.

I am an i5 fan myself. Depending on the snare, i might pull out a 57, SM7 or e609, but for the most part the i5 does the job 90% of the time.

Have you compared the the Chinese generic Neutrik look alikes to a real Neutrik? They are quite different. No rubber boot on the Chinese and they usually have some screwy plastic self crimping cable locking mechanism. Then there is just build quality... the Neutrik are simply heavier. Still hate...

Talk to their guys... they can get them. There is a lot of stuff you can get from Sweetwater that they don't advertise. There is one high end electronics maker in particular that comes to mind...

Well, given the budget and assuming "wait and save" is not an option, a few MSH1s as a spaced pair (and maybe a third as a center channel) or as a Jecklyn disc might work reasonably well. Just don't get omnis too far from the performance in the room or you will often get too much room in the mics.

Redco does seem to get it. Their prices are quite excellent for what you are getting and the fact you can absolutely custom build the cable down to the connectors and cable itself is really nice. If I wasn't such a nerd in rolling my own, I'd use them myself.

Tune the drum too... it sounds pretty "boxy". If I had to guess... some tuning and mic placement tweaking will help a lot too. So speaking of that... where are you placing the mic on the snare? Also, are your overheads placed such that they are in a good phase relationship? You might be getting...
