First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum or anything. I'm recording a percussion ensemble tonight, and need some opinions on how to mic everything. The instrumentation is as follows: 1) 4 Tom-toms, suspended cymbal with sticks and brushes 2) four timpani 3) Snare, tam-tam 4) bass marimba and [concert] bass drum 5) Vibraphone 6) marimba 7) xylo, bells The microphones I have at my disposal are: 2x AKG C414 2x AT4033 2x KM184 2x U87 2x NT2 2x Royer R122 4x SM81 1x RE20 1x Beta 52 1x SM57 1x SM58 3x MD421 Here's what I was thinking. 1) 1 MD421 in between 2 of the toms (2 total), 1 SM81 on cymbal 2) R122s as overheads for timpani 3) SM57 on the snare, 1 SM81 on tam-tam 4) U87s on bass marimba and RE20 on bass drum 5) NT2s on vibraphone 6) 4033s on marimba 7) KM184s on xylo and 1 SM81 on bells Also, the C414's in omni as room mics. What do you all think? Any other suggestions that might work better? |

No one replied in time for your recording, but how did it go? Did you try the stuff you mentioned in your post?
