Spolier alert! Tip 1) use a really great drummer. Tip 2) Use a great sounding drum kit. Tip 3) Record it in a great sounding room. Does anything else matter? What about mic choices? What about mic pre's? Well, yes, that can matter as well, but the single most important thing is having a great drummer! A great drummer will make almost any kit sound great, and any half decent microphones, placed correctly, will capture that.

Excellent video, thank you. And also thank you for sharing all this great information!!
What model are the mics you recommend for overheads?
You said those are from Thoman but I haven't found the model.

Great job! What preamps are you using? I see the Studio Live 32 which is what I also have and was curious if you just used its pre's or had other external ones. Thanx!
