Recording Drums With Mike Exeter - Part 4 - Snare Drum
In this video for Production Expert, Technical Editor James Ivey works with Recording Engineer and Producer Mike Exeter to record his drum kit for a metal track. In this the fourth and final video in this series, Mike explains and demonstrates his approach to recording Snare Drum using a total of 3 microphones, a Shure SM57 and a Warm Audio WA-84 on top and a single WA-85 on the bottom. By flipping the bottom mic out of phase and then blending the 3 signals Mike can produce a fat-sounding snare tone without reaching for any EQ.
