Is warming up with your feet just as important? Of course our hands but we use both our hands and feet. Any tips for the feet?

For Jazz you can't go wrong with XY. It gives the most narrow stereo image, but it gives the most accurate representation, the best phase relation, and the best sounding shells and overall whole picture of the kit.

Great video.Could you please elaborate how you tune the bass drum? It sounds beautiful and dry, considering you are probably not burying the beater? My kit would get so boomy at that pitch it is really a struggle.

It’s unfair to put the AT2035 in there! I feel like SE8 is the best bang for the buck and the TLM102 is the most romantic of the bunch therefore probably best suited for this purpose. Funny how it really worked here but never really liked it elsewhere.

May I ask what your method is for tuning your snare? It sounds absolutely lovely! I'm usually pretty forgiving/don't necessarily get too fiddly about snare tone, but your sound here really stands out as being gorgeous! It probably also has a bit to do with what heads you use as well! Thanks for this great video and any info you could provide if you see this!

Great video! I mostly play indie rock type stuff but this was very helpful. I’ve tried coincident pairs and resorted back to spaced pair. I’ve been using the phase meter in my daw to check if my overheads are in phase. The shells usually line up in the middle but the cymbals are always close to zero. It sounds good to my ears but I was wondering if that was a problem.

Thank you for this video. Finally someone posting a drum microphone tutorial who actually knows how to tune a drum kit! 😃 Your video is helpful as I have been in the middle of recording an organ trio of late. Using a Gretsch bebop kit tuned high and resonant like yours. I have tried a few different configurations and microphones but keep coming back to a single ribbon overhead. Just a cheap golden age ribbon microphone. But I find that the ElectroVoice RE20 makes a fantastic bass drum microphone. Particularly for those wanting to capture jazz bass drums that are tuned high with no baffling and a solid resonator head on front. I position the RE20 near the edge of the drumhead, but about 9 inches away from the head and pointed toward the center. This mic works well because it doesn’t scoop out any frequencies like most dedicated “bass drum microphones” do. Anyway… Your video is timely and helpful and I appreciate you!

Place them above your shoulders pointing toward the middle of the drum kit on each side, for example in between the ride cymbal and floor tom

I left the same comment in your mono overhead video because I had not yet found this one. But using an XY field recorder (e.g. Tascam or Zoom), I put it over my right shoulder, and it hears what I hear ( Englehart) but I do not add an additional bass drum mic. My bass drum had no damping or porting. This is the poor man's studio on a stick.

Superb video! They all sounded great to me although your kit / tuning and drumming performance have got a lot to do with that, but the differences in the mics were so very subtle. I was thinking of upgrading my overheads from a pair of AKG C1000s, to something a little bit better. I'm thinking either Lewitt LCT 040, Rode NT5s, or SE8s, but, I already have one Rode NT2A, so maybe another one of those, would make a great pair of overheads, then I have options for doing a blumline pair, mid / side recordings etc!

End the madness, put a FET47 somewhere in front of that kick, 12-18" out, give or take. Or go vintage crazy, put a 4038 on the beater side, to the right of your pedal, far enough back so the click and the boom merge. Call it 'thwap', on a low calfskin vibe it's old school heaven. Don't forget to flip the polarity on that pre!

I'm also a fan of putting a mike on the beater side and also getting some leakage of the snare bottom this way. How much, I can level with an EQ on around 5kHz. Most jazz drummers I record are looking for a kick drum sound similar to a floor tom but lower in pitch. So I use any mike that would sound also good on a floor tom. This way, I would not flip the phase. Theoretically, when you hit a drum, the drumhead is moving away from the mike. So the mike diaphragm is going out of the mike, therefor causing the membrane of the speaker also to move out. This is also the case for the toms and snare in the overheads. But I always check the phase in the DAW and give the kick drum a little delay to be in sync with the overheads. Two KM 148, Schoeps MK4 or Beyerdynamic M 160 in XY right above the snare are my favorite overheads, depending how bright the cymbals are. I only mike the snare and toms, when the cymbals are mounted very high above the drums. But I have not seen this in straight ahead jazz recently.

@@ReinerDamisch I get what you're saying, a lot of this is taste/preference. I generally flip polarity on a mic pointed straight at a batter head, unless the kick bleed is significant and the transient goes positive first, in which case I'll either leave it or (more likely) move the mic. You may have mistyped, but a drumhead that moves away from a mic capsule will cause rarefaction and (as you say) pull the capsule forward, but that will not push the speaker cone out, it will pull the cone inward. Rarefaction and forward capsule movement create negative voltage, aka waveform goes down, aka speaker pulls away from you (just as the drum pulled away from the mic).
@monoplectronic2010
@monoplectronic2010 8 ай бұрын
ORTF, I'm not sold. With the mics that close to the kit, every sound is hitting the mics off axis (not a huge deal with earthworks but still a deal), but really the transients got no love because the only sound hitting the capsules directly are the reflected sounds. For kicks some time, try rotating your mics 45-ish degrees so one points at the kick and the other at the snare, ish. It creates a vibe, esp. with XY. The thing that always warms my heart with XY, and I hear it here in spades, are the super tight, fat, punchy transients, on everything. If your player is ham handed it can be too much HF detail, but with a deft touch like yours, you get so many options for placement and vibe in the mix. Engelhart... it sounds so washed out to me, I wonder if that's more down to your room, I feel like 12-18" closer to the kit would maybe help the clarity in your space. Thanks for taking the time!

For me Vintage sounds best and familiar. That ride has that nice wash there without modern sharp stick attack and it's most balanced sounding. Close overhead does not add really that much more attack to the snare it only brings up the volume of cymbals slightly. I have to try the Vintage one! It feels like complete sound
