Damn, those RNT's as overheads sound amazingly full and detailed on their own! World's easiest 2-mic drum recording

[@mauriciosanchez7598]

The art of recording drums is so present in this video!

[@steven_porter]

I love the look of the VR2. Great sound too, of course!

[@Effswell]

Thanks to Andy for the comprehensive walkthrough! What a setup!

[@MonicaMcConnellAMommysTruth]

[@adityaharsh]

This studio setup is just dope 🔥🔥

[@salthedrummer1]

The room makes a big difference too!

[@LIXOSonidoyDiscos]

Good mic sets, but it exceeds the limits!

Excellent video. Congratulations

[@bolupona]

Interesting choices and use of mics. Definitely picked up a few ideas/concepts.

[@thebeardedkozak]

The cymbal tones, though.... sheeshh!! 😍😍😍😍

[@robdurkin2241]

What snare rim clip are you using with the sE V7X on the snare drum?

[@jamesburke1245]

some great tones going on and interesting techniques.

[@WandaJKB]

These are all great-looking mics ... good quality.

[@dave_lux]

I'm curious to hear more of the V Beat mics, particularly what they'd sound like on hand drums like djembes

[@celestialdrums486]

What a production! Mouth watering mics. I could only afford the se2200. Got one

[@KarinDillhage]

Love the Handling of this mic

[@nobodynobody3182]

Very nice. I am enjoying the information and the music!!

[@christianolmeda]

Sounds absolutely wonderful. And I hear a bit of breakup (the good kind) so the mic profiles can be aggressive when needed. Love it!

[@jasonmusic9938]

these sound phenomenal, that room though probably sounds fantastic, wonder what you do with guitar amps and multiple mics etc....

[@jamisonfrench]

Great Video. 👌 Those overheads and silver t2’s. Ai Yi! 🔥

[@azvasamusic7095]

i really want this song that was playing/recorded! Is it out anywhere? Where can I find it? Great work and amazing input on the video

[@alexiskolbin]

RNR1 what a design!

[@yoxiyoxi]

[@anton-vlasenko]

[@marerozzelle7961]

[@classicaxe1]

Hell yes ! Sounds awesome !

[@PinkyDoodlyUK]

What amazing mics! The T2 looks and sounds amazing =D

[@oralecorporation9554]

All good!

[@beargonefission6160]

That’s a lot of killer choices!

[@Soonzhiyang]

Gemini 2 is looking fantastic!

[@emag4369]

[@debazzerofficial1262]

serious set up

[@alz44]

Cool !

[@estevezmusica7131]

Want all those mics

[@brianbauer3148]

I think I would go for the vintage or Z6500. Interesting idea not sure how the drywall mics would sound but worth a try if you have the time.

[@bewells0423]

Drums sound good

[@aardvarkproductions155]

Fun!!

[@michalraczkowski427]

Incredible setup and sound!

[@maylilueyrojas8941]

Que buenas técnicas de microfonería!!🔥🔥🥁

[@jasoneshelman8746]

Wow beautiful studio

[@davidshaw4574]

What a great insight into the SE range when used on drums - Full mix sounds mega - Interesting that Pete gravitated towards the T2's - I'm amazed more people aren't talking about these mic's - I use them on drum overheads and love them - I actually got some other mic's on loan and did a OH shootout, they all got sent back and the T2's stayed up....

[@williamdaniel8912]

Nice breakdown of the mics.

[@maximkabalskis1723]

[@TomoGuitarlessons]

I don't know much about miking drums, but I know Pete is an awesome drummer (from my guitarist's perspective), I'm embarrassed I only heard of him a few days ago...

[@dannykhines]

I would love this setup, but the church budget won't let me do it up this nice...but some great ideas and ways to dream!

[@jeribergstrom8505]

I remember the days when it would be impossible to record without separation.

[@DougParkin]

Gemini II is handsome.

[@MindaugasKuodis]

Good

[@danw5462]
