Damned if I do
OK, so are we cool now? I really do want to help when I can, and I admit I could have been cooler about it.

EDIT P.P.S. And sorry if you thought I was attacking you. I'm pretty sure now that you are not Ed Rei playing one of his games again.
MadAudio said:It's a long story, but basically he's been signing up for multiple user names (which is against HR rules) and just generally annoying people on the site. The sad thing is, he's a seasoned pro who has in the past contributed a lot of good info.

RezN8 said:What type of percussion do you need mics for? They do "tailor" mics now to specific instruments like Djembe, Congas, etc, where you can close mic things (dynamics) but to capture all the percussion (tamb., shakers, bells, etc.) you could use a small condenser (or two) on the overheads for live use.
In the studio, if the room is good, and you find just the right spot, a single large condenser could do wonders.
RezN8 said:Dijon, OK I understand now. They are mostly referred to as drum sets or drum kits. A popular technique is to place dynamic mics close to each drum, then use condenser mics a few feet above (or even in front of the kit).
Here's a good starter package for you to look into:
