Small Drum Room...Mono Overhead Mic Suggestions?
In our studio, we have a selection of rooms, some with 20' ceilings and 20'x18'. However we moved the entire recording operation to the basement so we can rent out the rooms upstairs hourly...this won't change BTW. $$
All rooms down there have already been treated, though I should say we left an entire wall in the live/drum room that was "basement jagged concrete" purposely for some "life." Did throw a light curtain over it, room's otherwise pretty dead.
OK, live/drum room is 11x14x8' ceiling. Also an 8x8 iso, 8x10 control room. I think it's time to revisit some mono OH action for recording drums in there?
I did read the "recording drums in a small room" thread, and seems like concensus is mono OH and/or "underheads."
I want to see if we can delve into that a little more...
Suggestions for good "bang-for-buck" mono OH mic ? Maybe go Ribbon? Shinybox C or Ls? Cheapy(Nady etc.) modded by Oktavamods.com?
Or LDCs suggestions? Thinking about Oktava Mk319(again, modded by Oktavamods.com), AT4040, or 4047, or maybe mk012 with M Lomo head? ADK Vienna?
Wasn't pleased with the GT55 for mono OH, though my V69me showed promise...
Overall suggestions/techniques welcome too...
