| yeah i agree with the 421 on kick. your sm7 should work nice though. try putting some tape on the cymbal to make them ring less. also get moon gel for the drums that should help with the ring but not take away the resonance. the drums are dry but they have a nice full sound to them too. on the kick you may want to try using a fiber skin on the beater and use a pillow that has feathers to mute it. i like feathers because they move. i would put up a mic that's sort of a room/overhead. something like a ribbon, maybe even an sm58. if you go for too dead, you might just get small and thin. |
