hi this is Justin from sonic scoop we're

back again strange weather recording

studios this time in our drum

fundamental series we're going to be

looking at closed mics

how to place them how you can sculpt the

tone distance when and how to blend in a

bottom mic we've got some great mics

from our sponsors at sennheiser and

really killer drummer parker kindred

behind the kit alright let's get started

with the kick drum there's pretty big

difference between a mic placed inside

the kick and outside the kick even if

it's the same type of mic there's also a

difference inside the kick whether

you're right on the beater or a little

bit off the beater will hear both of

those variations as well

[Music]

just by moving the snare drum mic closer

to the center closer to the rim you can

dramatically change the CIN same concept

applies on your Tom Mike's mic closer to

the rim more ring closer to Center more

attack and there's a big difference with

distance part of it is going to be the

proximity effect the fact that these

directional mics the closer you get to

the drum more bass build up

[Music]

you

one more thing you can do the snare is

to fold in a bottom line pretty popular

thing to do the bottom mic this time the

Sennheiser 441 really classic

mindfulness application pointing

straight up at the snare band so you get

a lot of crispness a lot of that snare

band sizzle underneath the drum not a

ton of impact but if you take this very

thin sharp and bright sound and blend it

in with the top mic you can add a whole

new dimension to the top mic sound will

hear each of these separately and then

together

[Music]

you

[Music]

there's one other thing you can do with

the snare drum Mike we can get rid of

this dynamic that's an E 905 Sennheiser

swap it out for their sennheiser u 914

dramatically different sound there's a

couple of different approaches we can

point to the head just like we've been

doing or some folks jazz sessions

acoustic music like to point right at

the shell very different sound you'll

hear those two in a minute thanks for
