Yes. I especially love the D6 on kick. Makes my job so easy! Thanks for watching.

I've been watching the whole series you just dropped while taking breaks. I was going to comment later, but I know I'll forget. I'm mixing a song I was hired to produce. Unfortunately, the band's drummer played the drums, and the band leader recorded them at his studio. The way they sound is... well, depressing, to say the least. I didn't have room mics, but I had two overheads for the cymbals and overall image. I noticed that if panned left and right, the kick drum sounds mostly from the right speaker, and it took a lot of imagination to solve that. Changing the drums now isn't an option because the drummer lives in America and it was meant to be the real take. Do you try to keep the kick drum in the center of the overheads, as I do when I record drums? I always picture an imaginary line that crosses the center of the snare and the kick drum. That line would be, for me, the division of the drums from the right side to the left side, and the overheads would give me the snare and kick in the center, which makes sense since it is usually the panning we would use for the individual mics in the mix. What is your approach? (not on how to hire the mafia to take care of the guy who recorded them, but on micing the OHs)

Sounds like a doozie! Don't envy you that task. I agree with your approach and yes, I keep the kick and snare dead center individually and then try to get the overhead image to reflect that as well. I've started measuring the exact distance from the center of the snare to each overhead to keep them equal. It looks a bit weird but the mic over the ride is significantly lower as a result. A more radical approach might be to go for a mono drum kit without a stereo spread at all. Then put some guitars, percussion and FX out in the stereo spectrum to make up for the mono drum kit. A great example is 'Amber' by 311. Good luck, brother.

Great content. What do the mic cables run into?

Good question. I did not mention that they plug in to a 12 channel XLR snake that runs into the mixing console. Mahalo for watching.
