Drum Overhead Video

[Chris Whitten]

Testing my overhead options, just for fun and my own education, so not super scientific.
Featuring Pork Pie, Istanbul Agop and the Cymbal Resonance System.

Great demo Chris! I'm a huge fan of the Stager ribbon mics. Interesting how different the Stagers sounded from the Neumann and Austrian Audio mic's back-to-back.

Probably picking up too much of my ceiling to be fair. Also, ribbons want to be EQ'ed, which I tried not to do so as to present the sound of the actual mic.

what is the snare looks like a 6 lug RB

ah knew It looked unusual..

Very cool! I know only slightly more than nothing about mics, but I liked the sound of the Austrian mics best when the overheads were soloed. That's my high-end analysis. 😊

Quick question - what is the song you're playing along with? My Mrs popped her head in the room while I was listening and asked. She liked it! I did, too, but I was focused on the drums.

I probably like the Austrian Audio best too. The song is Red Hot Mamma by Funkadelic - a 1970's record.

It sounds amazing for a basic 6 lug wood drum. Something about the wood? A native Queensland maple.

I like the Austrian Audio best when solo, but preferred the Neumann in the full mix.
