Mic'ing Percussion | Record With Me

This was actually Recorded on November 5, 2020... During a portion of me checking levels, I actually play a little something Candido Camero use to always do.Ahhhh Rest In Peace to a Legend.
So in todays video, I decided to take you on a short preview on a recent recording I was a part of. I had to make a change in the mic I used for my main drum. I think it benefited this recording more.
I hope y'all enjoy this one. Tell me what you think...

Wow the 57s on the conga get a good mix of detail and also old school sound, fantastic!

[@APercussionLife]

Right!!!! That’s what I was trying to go for!!!

[@mikejgebhart145]

@@APercussionLife I have a sm57 and gonbops Mariano conga and this is inspiring me to really dig in to recording it and get a great sound combination from it

[@buddingsignal]

came here for the mic. stayed here and will remain here for the talent. dear lord. i couldn't stop listening. thank *YOU* brother for your talent, rhythms, frequencies, vibes, lessons, and well for being *YOU* 🙏

[@spyderpaul314]

Very cool to see you going through the recording process

[@ritmprobodypercussion]

You are amazing man! Remember that! I've got so much inspiration from your videos. And now i know that 57 is the best for congas)

[@BarbaricEricX]

Thanks Eric! I have come back to this video a couple of times now. I appreciate your discernment and the time you take to really make sure it is done right. Inspiring. Very best to you and your family. Cheers!

[@rubenv.4228]

Excellent Eric. Keep up the good work. You are making a difference Bro.

[@APercussionLife]

Thank you bro!

[@AimanBamboo]

my god man...this congas are just incredible...beautifull sound! and you playing is also amazing! cool

[@rafsantos8623]

Great job brother!!!....loved what you did with this song brother.....thank you..

[@jazzrengue]

Very cool! 👍🏻😊

[@paullarsen1072]

Awesome sound my friend! I am planning on getting a mic for my djembe, so thanks for the input!

[@MrKayruiz]

WEPA! I'm telling you dude... You are reading my mind!!!! I got mics on my Amazon cart RIGHT NOW!!! lol I've been debating what to get for months.

[@jcortez88]

You just got to love it y esto estuvo puro enscendio. Love this type of video @Ericperez. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@MaTTheWish]

Clean sound!

[@federicofigueroa538]

que rico suena, es tan interesante toda la parte de grabación. Antes el músico no estaba obligado a saber de técnicas de grabación pues hacerlo en casa era carísimo, solo algunos podían, pero todo ha cambiado tanto y la pandemia nos ha separado todavía más, creo que hoy en día si es muy necesario saber de grabación y hacer la inversión en equipo que se deba hacer. es tan fácil trabajar con músicos, productores y clientes de todo el mundo estos días...

[@APercussionLife]

Man eso es cierto!!!

[@flextaps3352]

Wow thanks for sharing man, you're the best!

[@oshitomaha]

Dang bro... hope you got good money for this💀💀. The dedication separates you from the rest man. Keep it up!

[@georgevtorres960]

Master Eric the best lol te la comistes mano...You got it love it”

[@nellmusic1]

Great recording session!!! Love it!!! I loved the sound of the second cowbell you recorded it!

[@jesusrios1272]

Tsunami de ideas en el calentamiento, genial!

[@flavanthensome]

I think it would be a good idea for you to measure out the space between the mics to drum and side mics to main drum. To make sure the are all the same(or as close as possible), to avoid any possible phase cancellation. And maybe an equalateral triangle for the bongos. Like drum overheads to the snare.

[@m.a.cm.a.c9308]

Great job, thanks for sharing!

[@caryrodriguez7040]

The SM57 is more focused than the AKG. Good call on the change. Do you have a tuning video?

Excelente vídeo! Os bongôs falaram tudo!!!!!!

[@lmckinney4303]

Great Great job!

[@josecorrea1504]

That was great!!!!

[@kosmonparran4495]

have you ever mic'ed congas from the top and bottom to get more bass? Im wondering if it might create a more dynamic sound combining top & bottom?

[@dodo13500]

Nice! Would like to see settings.....Eq and all that.

[@AncientSounds]

Great job! Thank you. Do you have a video, how you edit you recorded sound in your daw? Would be great!

[@ramonkey2939]

Nice sound good idea to switch that mic setup

[@jaimesagastibeltza8002]

Thanks Erik, one question. The bongos doesnt sound dry, I hear some short reverb in hight frequencies. Is that added after recording or is an effect form room acoustics? Thanks

[@jhowardpercussion]

This is such a great video!! I see that you have something under your congas. Are those restaurant serving trays or something specific for congas to project sound? Are these better than seated conga stands?

[@jaamabay3830]

Hey dude, can you please help me? What can a percussionist do when he gets tendonitis?? You probably had it before, so what did you do? Stop playing for a week or two? Oh god, its so bad staring at your instruments, not being able to play..

[@hifimidi]

Wear a hand brace when you sleep to reduce mobility, rest your hands for a week or two.

[@vern7100]

very nice bud.....good job the persecution, beautiful sound indeed, thank you.

[@marlonaugustoloravasquez902]

Donde estudió percusión Bro, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos ya que la mayoría de músicos greñas no lo hacen por ésta plataforma..

[@greghoward6000]

Are you still using your Behringer UMC404HD and is it a 4-channel or 8? I'm thinking about buying an interface and this one seems to be pretty good. Keep doing what you're doing...it makes a genuine difference to those of us trying to be somewhat decent :)

[@gofogodotcom]

Hola hermano felicidades como siempre muy buena la enseñanzas que compartes ! Que clase de ear monitor estás usando ? Abrazos

[@borikero1]

SM57 are the best...I don't mess around with anything else for drums.

[@jazzrengue]

Yeaup, it ain’t easy putting these videos together.

[@grupolostordillos977]

Que tal saludos todos tus videos están super pero un favorzote haber si se puede deverias hacer todos tus videos también en español gracias cuídese mucho 👍

[@johncuscaden2021]

Hey Eric, some guys have used tapestries recording acoustic guitars. That might be more mess, but what do you think about using those?

[@solomongrundy6806]

Hola Eric! Busqué otro video como este donde explicas tu set up cuando estas tocando afuera pero no lo encontré. Podrías hacer uno o poner el enlace de alguno que tengas? Quisiera saber que mixer usas y que tipo de speakers y su connección!

[@solomongrundy6806]

Found a video of you playing outdoors. Posted the question there!

[@nicoisbeta]

that sound is DRY, damn

[@calvinriggs6861]

There is a song called ‘teach me how to dougie’ with an iconic drum beat.(sounds like bongos). Please do a tutorial on it.

[@vtngonz6109]

Hoolaaaa Eric, me imagino staras preparando algo bueno no...? Xke stas tardando muxo Ehh...!!! 😜😜 Te das cuenta,ya no te perdonamos una...!!!🤪🤪 Perdon es broma, imagino has de star ocupado en alguno de tus proyectos...🤐🤐🤐🤐

[@ihortsaruk7335]

Shure 57 does the job well

[@pithaustgen3954]

Nice Video! I don't now what's the difference between the few types of bongo heads, can anyone give me an advice

[@APercussionLife]

Like the type of skin? Or thickness?
