Thanks Samuel!
It’s definitely a warmer tone which can be a good thing. Bright doesn’t always mean better. Plus micing underneath allows for better isolation.
That bottom mic on the ride is a super usable sound! Great video!
It may actually be the best in some songs
Very informative and well done. Thanks.
Petra! Paul Simmons can't never forget your performance in Shillong, India. It was outstanding. Memorable performance with Petra
Thank you for making this video. Huge help. Adding a couple of acoustic crash cymbals to my e-kit.
Like two different cymbals, great demonstration... I've always prefferd bottom mic-ing for my ride...top/overhead for crashes.
Benevolent Backpacker I agree with the bottom mic position. It sounds full from it. I like the middle and the edge in the mix.
An excellent inquiry into the alternative sounds one can achieve from one cymbal by manipulating mic position.
If you have overheads will there be phase issues? Should the bottom mic phase be flipped?
Yeah, flip the phase, otherwise it will just be a mess
Great video!! Thanks.
Nice vid Paul. thanks! Sabian Legacy for the win!
Which clip can I buy to mount my mic on my cymbal stand??
Edit: I found one. K&M 238.
Also try an LP claw
5:50 “We‛ll see what that sounds like... 🧍”

Ummm... Why is it that whenever he hits the mic, I hear a some sort of snare drum sound. It's driving me CRAZY!!! Anyways, Nice sound.
