[QUOTE="Steve Milner, post: 74840, member: 9"] Re: One of my favorite drum mic techniques Since the SM27 took over from the KSM27, I picked up a pair and have been using them quite a bit on drums. It's not the answer for everything, but they work really really well when I place them close in, under the cymbals and pointed towards the drummer (I've been using Mic Claw mounts attached to the cymbal stands to get the positioning I want, which has worked perfectly too. I [I]do[/I] use a sennheiser e902 for kick, but the rest of the kit sounds great with just the two mics. Obviously, you've gotta have the right drummer, with a reasonably small kit, which must be properly tuned etc etc etc. A rock/blues band I've been working with a lot recently has loved the sound both live and recorded that we get with this setup for their Jazzy (Mitch Mitchell) style drummer. The recorded sound I've been getting with these has honestly blown me away. I'll dig up some photos and maybe a sound clip or two to post here from the most recent studio session... I've got them on a drive or SD card around here somewhere! [/QUOTE]
