i'll be using 2 overheads with 2 more (one on the snare one on the kick).
concerning these 2 overheads, i need to know exactly where to place them. i'm not using a boom mic stand, i'm hanging these from designated slots in the ceiling. i need to get good placement before drilling holes.
heres a picture of the kit:
there are two more drums to the left of my hi-hats, so those need to be accounted for.
the setup i'm thinking is one overhead dangling down facing towards the floor tom / ride, and the second over to the left near the hi-hats and djembe.
i'll need one on the left and one on the right because i've got a lot of sounds to both sides.
since they're dangling from the celeing, i won't want them directly over the cymbals, because if some chance would happen and a mic would fall, i want it to fall on carpet not cymbal.
so i'm thinking
1) near but not directly on top of the ride cymbal to my right, and
2) over to the left above the hi-hat/djembe and two "unseen" drums to the left of the picture's cutoff
(my other 2 mics will be on the visible snare and kick drum)
i'm hoping to set up tonight so let me get some ideas soon! i'll post up my results
