Greetings percussion guru's! I am planning my first encounter with recording a full drum kit. I am building my sound room as I type. I just thought I'd start this thread to get some advice on preliminary preparations so that I have a smooth and productive experience.
First of all I have a set of stageworks drum mic's that consist of kick mic, and 3 dynamic mics. I know I also need a couple of overhead condensors. Are there any other mic's or preparations I should make for capturing the sound? I've know the more work you put in the prepation, the easier the mix down and mastering. So this is one for you seasoned drum recording veterans.
Also please advise as to what I should use as far as pre-recording effects such as compression, etc.
Lastly but not leastly, Im recording drums for fast death metal and grind core. Therefore I am going to have extremely fast double bass drum riffs and I need to EQ and set up accordingly so I don't miss a beat.
Thanks Everyone, this BBS is priceless!
