| How to Record Drums | ||
| Getting Started - Recording drums may be one of the most daunting tasks that face the home recording enthusiast. Recording the drums usually requires many more mics to fully capture the full range and combination of loud and soft sounds. Multiple mics means you will need multiple inputs to keep the tracks separate. Also with multiple mics phase cancellation can be a huge problem causing drums to sound thin and weak. Often small moves of one mic can ease this problem so remember to use your ears. If you are having trouble refer to the drums on an album you like as a reference. If you are recording other instruments at the same time make a tent over the drums using blankets to block "bleed through" to other microphones or use a separate room for the drums if possible. Also keep in mind that drums have a very large dynamic range so don't try to record too hot or you may overload your preamp causing very unpleasant digital distortion. Well recorded drums can make or break a recording much like a good vocal. Now that you know the difficulties you face in recording drums let's jump in and get started. | ||

| We usually recommend using 6 or 7 mics... use 2 Shure 58s for overheads. Place the overheads so you can pickup a stereo image of the drum kit, especially cymbals.... | ||

| Tommy Lee - Recording Drums at the Chop Shop | ||
| In producer Scott Humphrey's mega-home studio, the Chop Shop, Tommy Lee is letting rip on his massive kit. "Tommy typically says, 'It sounds too normal, make it sound different' and that's as far as the instructions go," says Humphrey. "I've tried so many different things with him . . . real dry, real ambient, always trying to find something different. This last experiment was, how big could we get the drums?" | ||
