3 | Application |
|
| Bass Drum | Most engineers agree that it is beneficial to remove the front head |
|
| when miking up the bass drum. A full drum sound is obtained by |
|
| placing the microphone just outside the drum. The further inside, the |
|
| drier and less boomy the sound and the better the acoustic separation |
|
| of the bass drum from the rest of the kit. Pointing the microphone right |
|
| toward the beater produces a harder sound culminating in a "click" |
|
| when the microphone is as close as 1 or 1.5 inches to where the |
|
| beater strikes the head. Directing the microphone away from this |
|
| point, toward the rim of the head, will mellow the sound. |
4 | Cleaning |
|
| Microphone | Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the surface of the |
|
| microphone body. |
