Rossman · 24th June 2006

Some of the best drum sounds I have recorded were using 4 mic's.(no phase problems). Good drummers have good dynamics

. If the're friends spend a little extra time. Track a song, do a ruff mix and see where you are and then fix what needs to be fixed. dfegad C1000s is ..............I second the cheap AKG's. Try the Octava mk012's, there not bad if you can find two that are close.
