Drum Tracking

My role is the drummer.

2 guitars, to help when tracking, one as the bass and a slide guitar.

Channels – 17-23

We put the bass through the DI

2 AKG C414’s (Condenser) – overheads, making it stereo. Bass and snare in the middle so they appear to be in the middle of the sound field.

AKG D112 (Dynamic), – kick drum, pointed towards where the beater hits, about 2 inches away, giving more attack when the beater hits.

2 Shure SM57’s (Dynamic) – Snare, one on top and bottom. The top was used to capture the low end, popping sounds. The bottom captured the crisp snare wires.

Beyerdynamic M201 (Dynamic) – toms, These are good mic’s for the toms because they avoid cymbal bleed.
