Over the years, I’ve used many different mics and techniques on the drums. On my most recent recording, I found that the following combination gave me the best sounding results for the snare drum. I used a large diaphragm condenser on the top head and a dynamic microphone on the bottom. After trying many mics, I found that the Blue Mouse mic gave me the sound I was looking for from the top head. It was very big sounding with a punchy low end, which meant that I didn’t
have to add a lot of EQ in mixdown. I used a MD441 (or SM57) on the bottom head.
In mixdown, I left the top mic un-gated, but I heavily gated the bottom mic,
with the release set to the tempo of the song, and sent it to the reverb.
