Recording Drums
Now, lets select some microphones. You don't have
to spend a arm and a leg to record drums like the pros,
here are some inexpensive ideas.
For the kick drum, you can use a Shure Beta 52,
AKG D112 or a MXL A-55. These mics range between
$100 and $200. For the snare, I recommend this choice
by many for years. The Shure sm57 it costs about $100.
Now, for the tom drums, a solid mic for this application
is a Sennheiser MD 421, but they are expensive. So, I
suggest you pick up a few inexpensive condenser mics.
Samson sells a few models at around $100.
Then there's the high hat. Grab a AKG 451 if you can afford one, or
get a Sterling ST31 for around $100. They also work great as
overhead mics. Good Luck, and keep on recording.
