Members pbognar Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 I know I saw a thread a while ago regarding mic-ing and recording a drum kit... I have some friends who want to record a demo and want my advice on recording drums. I seem to recall a thread where people got decent results with as few as 3 mics - if you could direct me to the thread, I'd appreciate it... Thanks, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Gotta run right now, but there's a few sources. Try going to Mercenary Audio's web site (Fletcher) and poking around on there. There's a reprint of an excellent post that Fletcher made on rec.audio.pro that is very good. You may also do searches on "3-mic technique" + "drums" and "Glyn Johns" and come up with something, as this has been posted on the internet numerous times. I believe there was a thread about this in Phil's forum as well, and Fletcher posts there occasionally. Oh, and there's the Earthworks Drum Mic Kit. That only uses 3 mics as well. Their Demo CD sounds very good. I get good results from 3 mics as well, but usually a spaced pair and a kick drum mic (okay, sometimes I add a 4th mic, which is a room mic - does that count? ). You and everyone else may hereafter refer to this as the "Ken Lee 3-Mic Drum Technique". It'll bring more business to Blueberry Buddha Recording Studio. Thanks. 'Preciate it.

Members pbognar Posted March 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks Ken... I had done searches in this forum - with no good results, but I must have stumbled into Phil's forum via a link at some point in the paslt, because I found what I was looking for over there... http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1051210&highlight=3mic+technique There is even a reference to the legendary "Ken Lee 3-Mic Drum Technique" Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what glorious detail! Look, if you and I and hopefully a few more people can get on board and keep inquiring around the internet: "Hey, where can I find out more about the legendary "Ken Lee 3-Mic Drum Technique" (or help me out here, since marketing's not my strong suit - should we call it a "4-Mic Drum Technique"?), the technique will be an overnight sensation!!!! Okay, I've had a little more time to look around, and I've found this from Fletcher's site, where he reprints his posts from rec.audio.pro (which I remember seeing when he initially posted that!): 3-Mic Technique of Glynn and Andy Johns, Geoff Emerick, etc. as told by Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
