Original Microphone Comparison Video: [ Ссылка ]

Today we're starting a mini-series on microphone setups and placement techniques for recording jazz drums. Following up on my original video comparing various microphones, this series will explore how microphone placement affects the sound you get on your drum set recordings.

Single microphone or mono overhead setups is an easy way to get a great sound with minimal equipment, and is also how drums were recorded in the 1950s and 1960s. This video covers four popular microphone placements with some back-to-back comparisons toward the end.
