    Hey Rob! You can get lower profile mic clips to mount these mics on which will get them back out of the way and still give you a good angle for recording.

    I have just the ADM for my snare, and had to put it on it's own stand and my 12" and 13" toms are low and at 10 and 2oclock in relation to the snare and even on it's own stand its a little limited on positions as far as it being low and out of the way. That's definitely my gripe as well.

    New mics look smart and are the part. As you said they’re mighty big, that 10” tom was very central; first try is all about sorting those minor niggles out. For a flat set up you also get that confidence of what you would like to hear in basic ( can’t call it raw on that kit) tones are being faithfully captured. Thereafter, the cuts and boosts that make ‘your sound’ rely on the next layer of production and we’ll look forwards to that in Part II of your new mic soundscape.

  • @DEADIDLE
    @DEADIDLE 3 роки тому +1

    Take the screw out of the tom clips and put the mic through the hole from the other side, you should be able to clip them to the drum without it being intrusive. Just 'fold' the mic around so it faces the drum still.

    Rob I experienced the same thing with the micro's, I folded the tom holders a little until they came out nicely above the edge of the toms.
    I just don't know if that is an option with your tom holders, they look very sturdy
    I'll give it to you it can be a simple solution for your 10 inch tom

    For the smaller tom's, the silver metal bracket, is it thin enough to bend just a bit to back the mic up? Or does the company have a different angled bracket (say like a 30-45°angle)? Just seems they hang just too far into the middle. If ya can work with the silver slider bracket bending wise. I'm sure it will definitely benefit, an clear the room you need.

    Hey man, what mic cables are you using? I use Whirlwind when I can afford them, but on a full drum kit, that's a lot of cables. I use at least 25' all around because you never know how much length you might need going down the stands, on the floor and up to your desk.

      @Hellion421 4 роки тому +2

      @@bromike Sure thing. At least in my experience, spot mics on cymbals (like what Matt does with each cymbal) give you a lot more control in the mix since you get the separation with less bleed from other elements when mic'ing from underneath, since you're aiming straight at the cymbal (brings out a lot of low mids out of my ride too). What I meant initially is that some people also put a pair of "overheads" underneath the cymbals (so, underheads) for the same purpose.
