Hi guys, I'm trying to record some djembe into my music and have fail getting enough bassy umph! All I'm getting is the sound of the hands hitting the drum and those sound flat and uninteresting, bland, too. All I got right now is a studio projects B3 and a cheap dynamic mic that I don't know where it came from but was laying around my house. I've searched this forum and saw that ppl recommend using 2 mics on top and bottom and that the bottom mic should be able to handle high the SPL produced down there. Is the B3 cut out for that? Or is it better for something like a sm57 (which I'm about to invest in soon)? Are small diaphram condensors like a MXL 603's (which I am also thinking about getting) good for the bass or the top?
