Overview Hookup ResourcesResources

Drum Overheads (XY example)

Place two small-diaphragm

condenser microphones on

an XY stereo-microphone

holder (bar). Position the

microphones so that each

one is at a 45-degree angle,

pointed down at the drum

kit, approximately 7 or 8 feet

above the ﬂoor or drum riser.

Experiment with height. This

technique can be used in

live applications as well.

Snare Drum (top and bottom)

Point a dynamic microphone at the center of the snare, making sure it

is placed so that the drummer will not hit it. Place a small-diaphragm

condenser microphone under the drum, pointed at the snares.

Experiment with the placement of both microphones. Also experiment

with inverting the polarity of the bottom microphone. This technique

can be used in live applications.
