Okay im finaly goin tomarow and im gona get these mics....

Harvey said they would be a good package to be able to record drums, Amps (guitars), Vocals, and the whole nine yards with these mics.....

Just to make sure i have it right let me post it one last time

(2) Shure SM57
(2) Behringer EMC8000
(1) Audio Technica ATM25

That should do it!

Except...for drums are you sure you don't need 1 more 57, possibly?

I am assuming the 25 is for kick and the 8000's are overheads. This would put 1 57 on the snare.

It seems either you wouldnt need the extra 57 (if you use the overheads to capture the toms) or you would need 1 or 2 more 57 (based n how many toms you have).


just a thought...

okay... lol so will 2 do it? or your saying to get 3? 57s that is

Are you going to record your guitar amp at the same time as the drums? Maybe that's what the "extra" 57 is for. So you're fine as long as you don't want to close mic the toms. Then you'd need two or three more.

nono.... im gona do dubing so i only need to record one thing at a time
{thank god}

Lets start fom the top.....

How do you want to mic drums? How big of a kit is it?


EX: kik, snr, Left OH, Right OH, hi tom, floor tom

Fully mic'd: 25, 57, 8000, 8000, 57, 57.

If you have 3 toms, add one more 57.


EX2: kik, snr, R OH, L OH (no close mic'd toms)

Mic'd: 25, 57, 8000, 8000 (this is one more than you specified above)


Conclusion: It all comes down to your wants and needs but you specified 2 57's which seems out of whack for either scenario......unless I'm missing something. This brings us back to my question above.

Hope this helps,

heylow
