Hey guys,
I'm going to be recording some drums today and it's my first time actually having some options.
I've got the possibility of running up to 8 mics at once micing a standard 5 piece kit with only a couple cymbals.
Mics to condend with:
Shure KSM 32
Studio Projects B1
Shure SM 57
Shure SM 58
4 Shure PG 58's
How would you mic the kit with these mics? Should I use both condensors as overheads or just one? I know that overheads are typically SDC's but I had to sell my 603's a while ago . How would you position the LDC's? That's what I'm most confused about. Also should I even bother with the PG series mics?
Thanks.
