In this free video tutorial from the team at Audient, producer, engineer and drummer Hamish Dickinson of Phoenix Sound in Nottinghamshire, UK, takes us through his ideas and techniques for microphone selection and positioning when using a limited number of mics on a drum kit.
He then goes on to demonstrate the sound of the recordings using a single microphone up to a total of five mics.
With the recordings are done, Hamish then heads into the control room to show us how he applies processing to enhance the sound of the recording tracks.
This is a really great video for anyone starting out on their drum recording journey as Hamish shows some very original and unconventional thinking to get the best from a drum kit.
