my ultimate home studio drum recording setup

an inside look at my favorite microphone choices, microphone positioning, microphone preamps choices and signal chains for drum recording in the home studio environment to get the sound Ive been chasing for years.

I appreciate your video and sharing your experience with recording drums! I’m a “ Novice Drummer “ actually myself and I love messing with different microphones and mixers at home too! Thank you for sharing your video! 😎🙌🏿

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

Ya man, the kick sounded money!!! Really liked how it sounded with that clear emperor on the top as well! Even without any dampening on the kick batter it didn't sound to live at all. I was surprised!

[@roycox4415]

Thanks so much!

where you at dude? we need more videos

[@roycox4415]

I’m making more soon! Thanks for the comment!

Quite a production ! Nice work. I try to use no more than seven mic's to capture the kit, which can be a challenge. I've used the KSM32 as an outer kick mic with very good results.

[@roycox4415]

The fewer mics the better if it gets you what you want! The ksm32 is great in a few spots actually. Great all around mic!

Nice video. I think that’s a Sennheiser MD441-U. I don’t think Shure ever made that mic.

thats correct. I misspoke

Hello Roy! Thank you very much for this video. I meet and also looked at your review of the studio equipment you use - it was also interesting and useful for me. To me, your drums sound very good, commercially I would say. However, I should note that the room and equipment you use is more in line with small commercial studios than amateurs. Let me say that you do not have a home studio, but rather a full-fledged studio where you live. Of course, I think it's wonderful. If you could share a multitrack of the example you recorded, I would be very grateful to you. This would allow me to directly compare your samples with what I was able to obtain in my own conditions. And thank you very much for pointing out the importance of the stereo room drum track, I thought that is like a luxury and not really neсessary. If you decide to make a similar video how to recording overdriven electric guitars, it will also be very interesting and usefull. Thank you for the work done - your style of presentation and camera work are very successful. I am from the post-Soviet space, my English is so-so, but your materials are perceived by me well. Thanks again. Peace to you, good luck, happiness in work and personal life. Alex.

Good afternoon, excellent video, I really appreciate you taking the time and trouble to do it, I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the following concern, at this moment I use a remo powerstroke 4 ttransparent head for my 22-diameter by 20-deep bass drum And no matter how much I listen to the video, I practically can't find a difference with the transparent powerstroke 3, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what the differences are in terms of sound (Tone, bass, sustain and volume) and how they feel when playing them, I play genres like pop, rock, latin among other genres... and the idea is to know if it would be worth the change or not...

[@roycox4415]

That’s tough to answer because it’s very subjective. The Powerstroke 4 and 3 are similar to me also but the Powerstroke 4 seemed to carry more tone and the Powerstroke 3 seemed to carry more attack and punch to me. I could hear the tone note more in the 4 if that makes sense.
