As some of you will know, I'm building a very different design of drums. We'll be assembling them in the coming weeks, & I'm looking to record them in the most natural yet representitive way possible (without it costing a fortune). The main job of the video is to show you guys and others exactly what they sound like.
I took a couple of my standard drums to a local demo studio today to test out the live room sound. It was reasonably neutral. My plan is to run 2 overhead LD condensers and another LD condenser in front of the kick drum. Everything will be flat, no EQ, compression, verb, etc.
Do you think I'm going about this in the right way? Any advice on mic placement?
I'm super keen to demonstrate that the sound you'll hear is the sound in the room, no enhancement whatsoever.
Any tips very much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Andy.
