Here's a link to us trying to get it together. Rough recordings but whatever. Anybody have any tips on recording drums, let know.

Get a pair of overhead pencil mics (spend at least 500$), take the dampener off the kick, stick a kick drum mic up inside your kick drum about 5 inches from where the pedal hits the head. A mic stand and a block of foam can make that happen nicely. Then simply pickup a pair of 30$ super duper nice moving blankets from Uhaul. Get gaff or paper tape handy, fold the blanket into a think square, tape that bitch over the front the kick securely with the tape. BAM! Epic kick recording. Then run it through a noice diamond waves audio sub M1 plugin and you sir have achieved basically industry standard kick. A good old Shure SM58 is the only way to fly in the studios around Memphis/Nashville for snare. Why fight it!? Drop a little reverb on that snare in post, and PRESTO!, epic industry standard snare (dont forget to pan it 25% right!!!). The overheads need to be at least a foot and change over your ride/hihat!!!

Have fun :0)
