This is a terrific video that Rick has produced here! I would add, for your consideration, the following: On most drums, the two heads are significantly separated from each other and, as a result, the resonant head will naturally vibrate a fraction of a second later than the batter head, and then some of this sound bounces back re-implicating the batter head. This means that baked into the drum when played are complex phase relationships that also, to some extent, vary by the set of frequencies emanating from the batter head and the shell as sound reaches the resonant head. These phase effects are relatively complex, and are also dependent, as a factor, on the type of heads used, stick type, playing style, how tight the snares are (for a snare drum), shell material, the head tensioning, the type of bearing edges, and if any dampening/muffling is used. My point is that the "natural" sound of a two-headed drum has baked in numerous phases cancellations "and" boostings going on that depend on the factors I've mentioned above. By "boosting" I'm referring to the extent that increases in amplitude occur when phase frequencies become aligned; cancellations happen to the extent that phase frequencies are non-aligned. It can get more technical but that's an overview. The mics (their number, type and location/position) have their work cut out to capture a simulacrum of the drum's sounds! We're all trying to capture an instrument that itself has phase problems or delights, depending on one's perspective.

Great video- one thing I had to learn over time that its not just about flipping phase, often two signals have the same "type" of phase but they are just out of alignment with each other. In fact, the opposite phase phenomenon is usually only encountered when micing bottoms of drums, and behind open back guitar cabinets. 90% of the time, Im zooming in and nudging waveforms to fix phase problems, not flipping the phase. A waveform thats 50% off axis with another will sound just as out of phase when flipped.

@@lisapatscheider Every microphone needs a preamp (except for ones w/ built-in, which you generally don't want) and all audio interfaces and mixing boards have them. The question is how fancy do you want to be. Outboard preamps (and outboard gear in general) might be used by pros based on preference, experience, budget and equipment they have acquired decades ago before modern conveniences. But don't worry about it. The good news is modern recording equipment, audio interfaces in particular, are servicable well into the semi-pro range and fancy preamps are toward the end of the list of what you need for making a great recording. It starts with the material and performance, then recording technique, perhaps the room, mixing, instruments (as long as they enhance the performance), microphones, then maybe fancy preamps.

Great video Rick, I think it would also be helpful to people who are relatively new to mic'ing drums in the studio to emphasis how crucial the room sound is to a good drum recording. A small room with super fast reflections will often kill a drum sound stone dead. I built a few studios back in the day and the first one took me a long time to accept that my live room was just too small to create a useful drum sound. In the end I added a ton of Rockwool panels in mesh liners and it changed the drums, ( especially the toms) out of all recognition. One of my most successful Metal albums was done with the kit in a VoiceOver booth completely covered in acoustic tiles ( I only accepted the session on condition the booth stayed put due to other commitments and it was a beast to dismantle!) I added a great studio reverb and it absolutely killed.. no one was more surprised than me.

Also your personal experiences w record companies etc... very insightful. THNX. Q here is...I notice your waveforms are very full/large. Borderline peaking at spots. So what are your feelings on this ? I tell kids "in the old days we didn't have waveforms to look at" had to use your ears. Now in the digital age " WE SEE THE MUSIC" and I find engineers are obsessed. So what waveform view are you set to ? Knowing they can be artificially expanded to any size inProtocols, what is the relativity to reality ? How do you reference that ? Does/should waveform size reflect actual DB ? Do yours here ? Obviously if it sounds distorted and looks flat up top (like "blocks view") then it's an overdriven signal. But if small waveforms, are you getting enough gain structure? Please Share thoughts. Props on yet another stellar video, well timed. As a Drummer/ Producer I'm intrigued ! Keep the Love n knowledge flowing dude !! THNX again

I'm noticing at 10:54 you're showing the tom mics. Perhaps something you should mention (I know there's only so much time you can put into a video, but ...) when you're showing several types of mics is "front address" vs. "side address." I know what this means, but I'm not familiar enough with these mics to know which is which. Your positioning of the MD421 made me look these up! With an SM-57 it is (or should be) obvious that it's a front address mic, but these two ... the AKG 414 is placed as a side address, and indeed the questions I see online (at that recently renamed "gear site") are which is the front (it's the silver side) and which is the back. The MD421 is bothersome because for the life of me (and anyone who has this question, like on that gear site again) it LOOKS LIKE A SIDE ADDRESS, but no it's a front address and you have it correctly "pointing" up at the tom's bottom head. And of course the worst problem is some people think all mics are front address.

I love that you're not gating anything. I've always believed that a kit, when tuned and mic'd properly, sounds best with no gates. There's nothing wrong with toms that ring out and the natural bleed from the various mics make for a very natural and homogeneous sound. A drum kit should be treated as a single instrument. I'd love to see a vid on how to record a Jazz kit with a double-headed 18" bass drum with very little muffling and higher pitched toms and snare. That's an entirely different animal and many recording and live FOH engineers have no clue as to where to even start. And trying to get a drummer to tune and muffle up a Jazz kit like a rock kit is simply wrong for the music and is not an option.

@aholder4471

For live jazz, whats worked for me at least is to tend towards not close mic-ing the Tom's at all or really low in the mix and leaning heavier on the overheads then I would in other genres. This will help with letting the Tom's do what they do a little easier and not fight the resonance as much and give it a more natural sound that doesn't sound so processed. Jazz drummers usually have great dynamic control and a natural balance with their cymbal work and the drums don't need to be "mixed" as much as a rock, metal or Funk group or whatever. That goes with all the instruments. I try to touch them as least as possible and stick with the basics like pulling out resonance and volume riding. Very light on compression if at all, except on vocals. Many times they don't need it at all and great jazz musicians can take it from a whisper to a scream and will adjust their playing in a negative way when they hear the compression by playing harder etc. I would spend my extra time on making sure their monitor mix was as dialed in as I could get it because they are improvising, so they need to hear each other better and more than most. (All bands need to hear each other, but it's not AS crucial) Sometimes the most pro sounding thing you can do is know not to do too much and have the confidence to do just that. Having said that I would love to see Rick do a video on it too, especially with his love of jazz. I thought I was a jazz head until I started watching Rick. He's got me beat by a mile.

While I appreciate what gates can do, as a drummer, they can be a PITA. I usually play rock music, but still play with some dynamics - and the gates often kill the dynamics. When I want to play soft, I expect it to be soft...some of these engineers gate it so much, the notes get cut off in the mix. And they all want "clicky" sounding bass drums. Ugh I can't stand it

A lot of the live sound world is starting to play with delaying the close mics to the overheads, similar to dragging the wave forms to line up in ProTools. When they're using different sets of plugins on each mic or group of mics, the additional latency of the plugins smears the sound more than this relatively straight signal flow. It does change the sound, but not always better or worse. It always seems to make them sound a lot more punchy to me. It might be a good technique for pop drums, if they ever use real drums. Micing the bottoms of the toms is not something I've seen much of in the live world, but it's definitely interesting. It reminds me of the effect of a drum smash bus, but much cleaner. Thanks for this!

Not worth it in a live situation to double mic toms imo. More things to fool with and setup, not to mention the potential for extra cymbal and/or stage noise bleed. Snare and kick would be more worth double mic'ing. If they're using "no delay" plugins in a live console, like Waves, the latency shouldn't be that much. Even digital consoles have a to d then d to a conversions that take time. You have to wonder how much difference it makes out at front of house, the minimal phase differences of the toms to the overheads. I guess it depends on the size of the space and how much work the PA is doing.

First of all...how great would it be to have access to your mic cabinet? I have a rather large kit, I'm running 20 mics when I record. I'm going to add one more to see if it's worth it. I actually use 421's on my snare. I did a mic test, video on my page, and of all the mics I had, the 421 was the best. However, the 57 was surprisingly close. I also used a Sennheiser e604 and e904. Anyway, I close mic all 8 toms with e604. I have kick double miced with e901 inside on a brick about 20 mm from the batter head and a e902 outside about 8 inches from where the reso head would be if I had it installed. All that is under a blanket. Snare 1 is double miced (421 over a 57), snare two is not. I have my two over heads (AT2035), hats and ride (ATM450) two 57's as stereo room mics, and an AGK P420 condenser about 6 feet in front of the kick. I had someone say placing a ribbon mic with the AKG mic and picking up the sound coming in from the side is a nice sound. Once I get my studio up I'll be trying that and shooting a video.

Because you'd only be making it APPEAR in phase, visually, which may or may not even improve phase correlation, which is why there are a number of plugins (Waves InPhase, Sound Radix Auto-Align) that actually measure phase correlation to give you a more objective point of reference than what you see on a monitor. Adjusting phase relationship between correlated signals is absolutely just as important as adjusting polarity, possibly more, as equalization affects phase, and plugins that measure correlation are very handy tools to help correct phase after EQing correlated signal differently. The only time I use the visual appearance of the waveform to help correct phase is to see whether it looks like lower frequency content is polarity-reversed as higher frequency content is in polarity, as an all-pass filter might be useful to correct frequency-specific polarity issues before measuring correlation to adjust the phase relationship.

time alignment on individual drums can be a good thing. "don't do that, you don't need to" is a stupid reason. with the polarity you mostly align the bass frequencies, but the mid and highs can still get cancelled out because of the time delay and the resulting comb filters. i don't say you have to time align, just try and listen for yourself, especially what happens in the mid- to high frequency content of the drum.

Damn you Rick, this sounds so fat and insane! Serious Bonham vibes here. How big is your room? All that ambience coming into overheads is just insane! Do you have any acoustic treatment built into walls?

Why would it matter that the condenser and the sm57 diaphragms are perfectly aligned by the double mic-clip on the top snare, if it doesn't matter that the two kick drum mics are 18" apart?
