When it comes to capturing the perfect drum sound, one of the most crucial steps is mic placement. But how do you mic a drum kit effectively? In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various components of a drum kit, the types of microphones suited for drums, and the best miking techniques for each drum.
When it comes to drums, going for a mic kit can be a double win. It takes the burden of handpicking individual mics off your shoulders and comes with potential savings. But there’s no point buying a large set that doesn’t perform half as well as a few high-quality mics you selected yourself. To help you avoid this trap, we narrowed your options to the five best drum mic kits.
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to place a few spot mics on your kit and call it a day? Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. No matter how much effort you put into setting up close mics, the sound will never be “unified” without overhead mics.
Drums are one of the most important elements in a mix. They provide the backbeat and the foundation for the other instruments.
