[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 74475, member: 277"] Re: One of my favorite drum mic techniques I have gotten an incredible drum sound several times with just a single sm57 overhead centered 4-5 feet above the snare and toms and a kik drum mic. The balance with the cymbals is perfect and focused, obviously no phase problems. It goes without saying that this is for a well tuned kit with an excellent player. I have also done this technique with a stereo pair of Oktava 012 in an XY configuration as well both in the studio and live with good results. I actually prefer the sound of the sm57 over any of the many other mics I have tried this with including all of my condensers. The cymbals are just enough off axis to sit in the mix properly and the sound of the dynamic element is very thick and natural. I will add that I am a drummer and am very particular about drum sound.
