If you haven't, try the top snare mic maybe 2" above the rim and 2" back, pointed straight across the head rather than angled. It gives a very different transient, less of that 57 'donk' and the off-axis hat action is often less objectionable... or not! Thanks for taking the time!
4 mics sounded best to me, but the "all mics" mix wasn't ideal so it's hard to compare. When looking at this particular sound/vibe, we should look to Rudy Van Gelder.
I really liked the 3 mic setup the most.
The algorithm brings me here just as I’m thinking about how to mic drums for a video shoot in a large space. Thanks man!
My pleasure!
Amazing and informative video. Keep the content coming!
Very informative... great job!

the jump from 2 to 3 mics was very noticeable; thank you for the comparison at the end as well!
Thank you for watching!

Will definitely give this a try! Thank you!
Whats ur brother's snare? Is it the new supraphonic or the 60's one?
It’s a super Ludwig chrome over brass snare from 1961. The one with chrome over brass hoops.

Rudy was the best!
3 mics for sure
Bad angles on the snare and toms......
