Simple drum micing using availiable mics.

[pyrohaz]

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum so go easy though I have read a large amount of past posts.

My question:
Which of these mics that I have would be most suited to each use for a drum kit? (I don't wanna go out and buy any soon so thats not an option im afraid!)

• Sennheiser E604 x2
• Vocopro mark12 x2
• AKG D69s
• AKG D330BT
• Sanyo MP303

Because I have a pair of the sennheisers or the vocopros, i'd like to use them as overheads in an XY pair (I don't have any condensors atm ) though at the same time, I have seen the sennheisers used on toms and snares before and they sound pretty great imo!

I'm recording into a Tascam US800 (no mic pre's unfortunately, just the inbuilt ones) into Reaper, windows 7

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks!

Edit:Sorry, I didn't really say very clear, what I meant was: which mic should I assign to each drum? I can have up to 6

I like the Sennheiser E604.

Hi, thanks for the input do you know how the sennheiser works with the kick? or as overheads? (These are my hardest to think of where to put the mics lol).
