The Next Vanilla Ice
Lately I've been recording my drums and they've been sounding like crap, I really don't think I've had a time where they've sounded decent on playback but now that I have alot of time on my hands, I've got to get this problem solved. When I am playing, the drums sound really good to me but they never sound anything close when I record/playback.
My drum set consists of a snare, kick, floor, 2 rack toms, hi-hats, crash, and ride cymbal. The mics I have are Behringer ECM8000's (overheads), SM57 (snare), and AT25 (kick).
I have the first ECM8000 positioned over the hats, crash, snare, and left rack tom. The second ECM8000 is positioned over the ride, floor tom, right rack tom. Each about 3 feet from the drums, positioned downward. I have the SM57 positioned a few inches away from the center of the snare drum. The kick drum is aligned with the beater, just a few inches into the kick drum with the front head off (I don't have a front head anymore, so its my only choice).
Click here to hear a sample of my drums (you need to change the file extension from .mp to .mp3. I'm a guitarist not a drummer so don't mind the playing.
Please reply.
