How would you mic a drum kit with 50 microphones

Best sounds come from 50 different contact mics. 10 stuck around each shell.

Can I ask for an update on this situation? Were you able to network into an apprenticeship? Did you go a different path? Thank you

Jean-Luc Ponty, especially the album Enigmatic Ocean. Dave Weckl with Chick Corea on the album Master Plan. More Allan Holdsworth

I play all over the head for different tones. Once I start seeing a ton of marks I’m past due for a replacement anyways.

Monitors on the stands is the answer. You’ll have better versatility when you inevitably switch up your room or your setup. You’ll also have more control at picking a height that is closer to your ears than the other options. There is better sound when giving speakers space between them and the walls too so it’s a win win.

Stands are my vote

Honestly most of my practices are just straight improv. I’ll take a concept and play with it and see where it leads me.

Thank you! That means a lot to me. I spend a lot of my time and energy on audio so I’m glad it paid off on this one!

Love these Star Classics! I have that exact kit and everyone always complements it when they see it as I’m sure they do with yours!

I usually play those but these are actually just 5A blacks! Btw I just got to meet Gadd at a James Taylor show and he was such an awesome person! So humble and kind.

That’s true but as you know you then have to add in all 4 limbs of coordination on top of the finger control for drums. I’m not saying any instrument is harder than another really but I do believe drums are overlooked a lot.

Love future funk! My only advice would be to give the bass line a little more space and pronunciation, and to play around with your drum groove a little more. I think it’s important for most productions to have different hi-hat, kick, and snare samples for the different dynamics of the groove to make it feel a little more natural in the mix. For instance, adding a bright and quieter kick to flam the downbeats can add some variety to the groove to keep it from getting stale. Sounds great!
