[QUOTE="John O'Brien, post: 23566, member: 390"] Re: Underneath hat mic placement Muse is a great example of people using mic'ing underneath for cymbals. Here's a shot that Dave Rat took of their drummer rocking out back in October. The hat isn't under mic'ed, but the others are, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has been before. I really think that stuff like this is so hard to fully think about on a forum. There are SO many variables to take in to account in finding that tone you want from mic placement. Size of sticks, type of drums, player, mic choice, style of music, environment.... I hope you are able to somehow do a shootout and take as many observations as you can about what you have available. If you like it underneath, then boom. Do it. I hope you find that perfect sound for you Personally, if you move your mic around and find that golden flame of sound, then by all means do whatever you have to do to get that mic there. I've had to utilize wads of gaff in some situations to make that work. Ideal? No. Was everyone happy, including myself? Yes. That's what I love about what we do, we get to experiment and find the best possible ways to achieve results. We're conduits of sound coming from a band that wants their sound translated to the audience. I'll do whatever it takes to get that to them.
