I like this but could you add a video now showing what this sounds like? My friend and amazing sound guy said most of the things you said here so I trust your tips but I'd love to hear it from the front if possible.
Would be nice if you could make a video addressing the mixer side of it. What kind of mixer, how to set it up with all the issues like phantom powered mics and those that are not, etc.
I want these Mic Setup for my drums but I have to record my drum track to write some songs and set my hihat half near open close after buying a double kick pedal.
yo whats up with youtube live setup and gear videos and never wanting to actually do sound tests? lololol is it like some unspoken code??!!! lololol great video nontheless
So no demo of the actual sound recorded? Also, that many mics seems like heavy overkill (I'm counting 15 mics 😳). Sometimes less is more. To each their own.
Hello, GriffinGTR! Great question! You need to be sure all microphones are going into a microphone preamp input. Most 1/4" inputs on a mixer or audio interface are not microphone preamps, so it will not work. By all means, feel free to call us if you are unsure. We can certainly point you in the right direction. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
Hey, Padawan. Thank you so much for reaching out. To answer your question - Yes, you would want to send every mic to an independent channel. By doing this you get a lot more control and can add fx's and tweak every part of your kit to really dial in the sound. If you are finding you have a limitation in your channel count, there are different drum mic techniques to use less mics and channels. If there is anything else at all I can do, please let me know.

Study the live recordings of the 50's 60's 70's. The bass drums typically did not have a hole and with one mike on it and they sounded great. Buddy Rich, Ian Paice 1972, Joe Morello, etc. John Bonham studio recording with two mikes in the room. This guy over does it.
The drums in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s might have sounded just as good as they do today. But in my opinion, live sound today is 1000 times better and more detailed today than it was in those days.
Hi, Thang. In this video he is using stands from K&M. The one on the kick drum is the KM25950, the snare and hi-hats have a few of the KM25900, and the overheads are using the KM2102. They are rock solid stands! Thanks for your interest! Mike Wuchter, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1789
This is a lazy Shure advert, he doesn't even say Shure just rattles off model names and assumes the viewer knows. Overheads aren't equal distance from the snare, doesn't bother correcting that...no sound demo either. Just lazy.
Advice: if it sounds good, don't mess with it.
Honestly best advice out there
That one sure cracked me up xD

the tip about the overhead phasing was awesome
Can't believe he dissed the basketball kick sound like that ........
Deserved though
we wanted to HEAR that!
Great video to get a quick overview of how you can avoid some issues like phasing and cymbal bleed 👌🏼
Very Helpful God bless you🙏🏾💯 for this information.
This guy is just like my dad he put 2 mics in the bass drum to
to what?
i have had nothing but positive experiences with Sweetwater. great vid, thanks!
The string to the overheads from the snare was a good tip
solid! Should have given us some rough mix oh how it sounded man! but great vid!
Excellent video, thanks.
xy on the overheads seems to be great solving phase problems.

15? I count 10 plus what I assume is a vocal mic he can swing in to sing/talk. 2 overhead, 2 bass, 2 snare, 3 tom, 1 hats.
Do you have to use XRL inputs when miking drums or can I use both 1/4" and XRL? I only have 8 XRL inputs.only miking the kick and snare

You gave Brutus an idea to literally record a basketball for a beat in a future litty track. 🤗
For clarity, is the floor tom also being mic'ed with the Shure SM98amp? Is this a Redording Custom kit? What size kick?
Arg! Where's the demo? lol
Thanks 😊
Nice Vid!
What mic are using to speaking and record your voice? Sounds really clear and not too bright
He looks like Phillip Ellis, the Austin Stone drummer... are they brothers?
I've never seen this guy in my life.... :)
What is the optimal distance? Great video.
My guy clearly does not enjoy basketball. What have they done to you I'm so sorry. Great quick overview of drum miking, and good advice!
These hi hats are huge.. actually they’re crash cymbals
You gained yourself a sub!
I'm trying to make mine sound as big as eric carrs drums
Will these drums sound as good in real...not mic’d up for the videos.
Costing up these mics are more than my kit costs!
is sm57 good for the high-hat
Yes
Might be a silly question, but do all these mics need a separate line on the PA?

There might be a phase issue with the placement of the Top Snare Mic and Bottom Snare Mic
What snake box does he use?
What if you don’t have a hole in the kick
Great information, but gear is so expensive! Wish gigs paid enough to buy this stuff.
what type of mics are these Dymanic?

Mike Kelly they did not sound as clear and detailed as it now

Hi How many mics r u using?
Keep Rockin' That is way better than me!
What boom stand is he using?

Sweetwater Thanks
drum player monitor send what signal
Ask the drummer.
How about playing as well as just talking?
does anyone else hear that noise on his mic?
Come on bro. No demo or sound check at least?
These are very expensive microphones. Can someone do a video for people like me, that can't afford several thousand dollars in microphones alone?
What about phasing on the 2 snare mics.
john paul porrelli he talked about that when he mentioned polarity.
This is a lazy Shure advert, he doesn't even say Shure just rattles off model names and assumes the viewer knows. Overheads aren't equal distance from the snare, doesn't bother correcting that...no sound demo either. Just lazy.
LOL Dan you didn't tell me your famous.
4 mics and only done kick and snare 😂😂
These microphone names sound like gun names
"I'm weird.. I guess.."
*Close Tab*
No sound??? Really? Just talking? Dislike.
All that talking and nothing for us to hear?
Tony Gorga I got what I came for, hugely helpful.
This guy's kinda awkward
2:24
Because he's a drummer
@@thedrewids7 Actually one step further: he's a FOH engineer.
Pret............ty boring
Very monotone and unenthusiastic...
yeah but did you learn anything
i don't need excitement, i need information...
