We get questions ALL the time from viewers asking about recording setups, microphone techniques, and how much gear is necessary to get a quality recorded drum sound. We’re grateful to have been able to partner up with our friends at AKG to put together a VERY simple primer on two and three microphone setups for capturing drum sounds for a variety of purposes.
