how should one record a bass drum?
i use an audix d6 on a pdp fs birch 18x22 kick drum with evans clear eq2/ported smooth white eq3 heads.
its not like i am getting a particular bad sound out of it, i just want to see the different techniques used to record and understand what sound each technique can achieve.
i have seen some people use...
no reso head.
a blanket draped over the reso side.
a blanket sound tube.
also, where should i place the microphone?
in the drum facing the... batter head? reso? shell wall?
in the port hole facing the... batter? shell wall?
on the face of the reso head near the... middle? hoop?
etc...
thanks guys,
taylor
