Hey Great Question. If you’re just using one mic, I don’t recommend generally to gate that mic. You’d want the “environment” to be a part of the sound of the drums as a whole. You’d get undesirable “pumping” if you try to gate and get it dialed in based on the dynamics of the drummer. Hope this helps!
Hey Issac- Thanks for the question. It depends on if you’re close micing cymbals versus having general overheads. If you have just a stereo pair, i wouldn’t because i would use them to help you get the whole kit sound. If you’re doing close micing, i would gate each one so that it only opens when each cymbal is hit. Great question.
Hey Thomas- We use the Allen & Heath Avantis. Feel free to send me an email: sales@thepenn.group I also have several videos on the channel of me using it.
@@austinharmanmixes great content you have in here. Thank you! Question: I use a 15-inch subfill for kick and put it next to a drummer. They like the thump they're getting and it makes the bass drum sound huge. Every once in a while I hear this loud low frequency humming like a feedback. Do you think it is one of the drum mics causing the low freq feedback/humming.
Best explanation ever after watching tons of videos throughout the years.
Thank you! You’re very kind!
This was very helpful. Especially being a new engineer to the live sound space.
Great! Glad you enjoyed.
Great video but can we put a gate on the background noise😊
Thank you Donald! You absolutely can. Just follow the same practices here.
Also- sorry I recorded this pre-rehearsal for a gig! It was loud.
perhaps lowering the gain on your mic would have helped@@austinharmanmixes
@@stradbass4766 it was recorded on an iPhone 🤩
What about one overhead drum mic? We don't have enough mics to mic the whole set.

@@austinharmanmixes I thought that might be the case. Thx!
@@Zebrajellyfishphoto you bet!
Great explanation!!!!

Hello, do you recommend add gate on the overheads mics? (Cymbals)

Hello question for you, what streaming console do you use? Currently we use a tri caster but i dont like the sound it provides any suggestions

@josephbisenio4984 it’s probably feedback in mic from your thump.
