Thanks Mark, I'm reading your dissertation at the moment. I think it is interesting to view the technique Weedy advocates from different perspectives. Personally, I find it compelling. I really like the way it presents the kit, and I want to listen again, and again, and again. If one is after a prec...

That is incredibly helpful, thank you. I'll be using this approach for a real session soon, and these extra pictures are most useful. I can see what you mean about the mics pointing through the toms at the snare. Having mine closer did indeed give them an aspect of tom mics. My own fault entirely - ...

Right enough, they are not certainly not overhead. How would you describe these mics in your setup? I've attached a photo of the test setup here, I think the mics are closer to the toms than your Dave Hause setup, but in roughly the same position. Edit: the phone camera perspective is doing strange ...

Here's a test recording with overheads as described by weedywet. Just the two overheads panned hard left and right, with close mics on the kick and snare.

Cheers,

Indeed so! It's a small virtual world :-)

Thanks Weedy, that is very useful to know. I'd also be up for hearing more of your drum tracking stories! Have you done any in smaller / acoustically dryer rooms?

Cheers,

I've just come across this thread - a very interesting read indeed, and congratulations on your success of your dissertation Mark. It has inspired me to try some new approaches next drum session. My preferred overhead mic placement thus far has been a stereo pair of small diaphragm condensers in ORT...
