With overhead drum mics, I get one mic where I want it, measure from the center of the snare to the mic capsule then place the other equal distance to the center of the snare. In a mix with the snare mic panned center, it will also be dead center of the overheads when panned hard L & R.

Thanks for the excellent explanation. So each and every drum overhead micing technique where the microphones are pointed inwards (mostly towards the snare drum) have these problems? do you have experience using the Recorderman technique (equidistant from kick & snare via a cord/cable and pointed towards snare drum) and if so would that have the same problems? Thanks in advance
@martynheynemusic23 күн бұрын
Hi, drum overheads do indeed often have this problem but there's a point where I wouldn't consider them a stereo pair anymore. I've made a video about this in relation to drum micing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX3ShK2lpqmWl8Usi=ycwRWFeNQla4717F
@lyleooley5 ай бұрын
How does this apply to a Glyn Johns style drum setup? Seems to give a nice stereo image, both pointing more or less inward.
@martynheynemusic5 ай бұрын
Great question! Basically in Glyn Johns technique the mics are so far apart from one another, and so close to the source, that it's not really a stereo technique anymore but rather two mono sources with panning. The bleed fills the spaces in between.
@JonathanGalle5 ай бұрын
In addition to Martyn's answer you'll also notice the two mics are not competing for the stereo image, amplitude and time are both working together still. Glyn Johns only works if the mics aren't competing, which is why you make sure they are equidistant from the snare and roughly 32in away. The ride sound will arrive at the rear microphone before the overhead mic it will also be louder due to it's proximity. I'd argue it's a bit like a spaced pair in terms of qualifying for "stereo-technique-ness" and in my book it's on the brink of still being a stereo technique but it's on very shaky ground haha! You'll notice if you set it up correctly you can pan the overhead mic hard right and the behind mic hard left and still end up with the snare sounding in the middle, to me that's enough to qualify it as a "stereo" array. Especially considering you can balance the full kit quite nicely without any spots if done correctly. But to each their own! I think one could easily argue it's not a "true" stereo technique.

@@JonathanGalle Think of it like this: Can you use Glyn Johns on a piano? On a choir?
@JonathanGalle5 ай бұрын
@@martynheynemusic Fair enough, but does the Glyn Johns array not capture an accurate stereophonic sound of the kit? I'd argue it sounds better than almost all of the traditional stereo arrays for kit for most jazz/small kit applications. It creates an accurate stereo image of a drum kit and by that definition I would say it is a "stereo array" as it creates a stereo image. I think calling it two mono sources with panning is a bit oversimplified and doesn't give the array it's due. For comparison: I would argue the Decca tree is a stereo array, If you agree with me that it is a stereo array then you'll also probably agree that the array tends to fall apart on smaller sources than orchestra. Does this officially make it not a stereo array? You could obviously argue "no it's a LCR" but in my book a stereo array is one that represents a realistic stereo image. Once again, I'm just being pedantic about all this, in regards to the video and the greater conversation it is largely un-important haha! We can both however agree that pointing cardioids in towards each other spaced out is a bad idea and to absolutely not do it hehe!

@keyboardtek5 ай бұрын
As a pianist, I am trying to achieve a recording like my ears hear the piano. Zenph Studio recordings of their piano used a dummy head with the mic elements in the ears. So should the spacing between two mics be about the width of a head? And should there be an object in between about the size of a head to block the sound from opposite sides from being caught by the side sensitivity of the mic?
