working on a pretty ambitious project. although i appreciate all genres of music, i thought it would be really challenging to make a short (4-5 song) EP of metal songs me and my friend wrote. i know what im going to do for guitars, vox and bass, but i know that like in any recording environment, the drum set is the hardest to... "do."
So cutting to the chase, i would really just appreciate any tips on how to mic a drum kit for a "metal" sound. here is the gear i intend on using.
Pearl drum kit
Focusrite saffire pro 40 audio interface (8 mic lines, all with preamps)
Overheads: Samson CO2
Kick drum: Shure pg52 (BIG question, how do i get a kickass metal sound from the bass drum?)
Tom1 & 2: SM57s
Snare: SM57
Hi-Hat: AKG perception 220 with the dB pad on to eliminate bleeding from rest of kit
Floor tom: Audix d2
any and all help/comments are appreciated!!!
