Recording Notes

• The drum sound was achieved by miking the kit with a combination of close mics and overheads.
• The kick drum was likely miked with a dynamic microphone inside the drum and a large diaphragm microphone outside.
• The snare drum was likely miked with a Shure SM57 on top and bottom.
• The cymbals were likely captured with overhead microphones, such as Neumann U67s.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a well-tuned drum kit and fresh heads.
• Use a combination of close mics and overheads to capture the full sound of the kit.
• Experiment with different microphone placements to find the sweet spot for each drum and cymbal.
• Use EQ and compression to shape the drum sound and make it sit well in the mix.
