Micing a drum kit

OneMan · 23rd July 2006, 02:34 PM

I'm about to take on the task of micing live drums for the first time and I've gotta admit, this is gonna be new to me. Anybody care to post some pics of a miced up drum kit? My goal will be to use less mics as possible 4 or 5 with 6 being the most. I have 6 channels of preamps but will probably have to buy mics for kick and snare, Audix D6 and SM57. I'd love to see what others are using and techniques as well.
Thanks,
OneMan

Seeking Advice: Recording Drums Without Tons of Mics

best placement for drum overheads

Using 2 microphones on a Kick with closed heads... Help wanted!

Hope those help. The 2nd link has pictures of Recorderman's modified stereo Pair, as well as a video demonstration of how to set the whole mess up.
