Vintage Drums big open sound!

mercredi 27 mai 2015

Did a demo session yesterday for my wedding band, decided to use my old Ludwig for the first time, I used played in heads on the kit including the snare (400) had a fresh head on my 402 but we were listening to Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik setting up so I think I had a 400 sound in my head. My set up was:

22x14 Bass drum
12x8 Tom
16x16 Floor
18x16 Floor
LM400.

15" Zildjian/Paiste Hi Hats
19" K Dark Thin Crash
21" K Crash/Ride
20" K Custom
20" Meinl Byzance Dry Ride

We used a minimal mic set up and I was over the moon with the sound, it had that lovely warm vintage sound that people pay £1000s for or use on kit sampling programmes, plus kit sounded huuuugggggeee. We used:

D6 (Bass drum)
SM57 Top Snare
PG56 Bottom Snare
AKG 214 x2 Overheads

It was so nice to hear the kit breathe, should have put a vid on youtube but alas forgot.

Does anyone else have any minimalist micing techniques that get a really good big classic drum sound?
