Damn, those RNT's as overheads sound amazingly full and detailed on their own! World's easiest 2-mic drum recording

[@jkates]

Cool mics!

[@Bethdelviento]

It´s beautiful

[@williamdaniel8912]

Nice breakdown of the mics.

[@christianolmeda]

Sounds absolutely wonderful. And I hear a bit of breakup (the good kind) so the mic profiles can be aggressive when needed. Love it!

Excellent video. Congratulations

[@andy04483]

I need these mics 👌😍

[@davidshaw4574]

What a great insight into the SE range when used on drums - Full mix sounds mega - Interesting that Pete gravitated towards the T2's - I'm amazed more people aren't talking about these mic's - I use them on drum overheads and love them - I actually got some other mic's on loan and did a OH shootout, they all got sent back and the T2's stayed up....

[@RanProRV]

Nice sounds all around.

[@IsabelRuthMusic]

Very cool

[@adtnj1234]

Great sound

[@debazzerofficial1262]

serious set up

[@alz44]

Cool !

[@dave_lux]

I'm curious to hear more of the V Beat mics, particularly what they'd sound like on hand drums like djembes

[@estevezmusica7131]

Want all those mics

[@filmyoo]

Nice sound

[@aardvarkproductions155]

Fun!!

[@jasonmusic9938]

these sound phenomenal, that room though probably sounds fantastic, wonder what you do with guitar amps and multiple mics etc....

[@robinsondl]

🔥🔥

[@Thetimrobertson]

A well tuned/played kit helps. Well done.

[@zigakrasnic8879]

Might need those in the arsenal!

[@bewells0423]

Drums sound good

[@javierjanaid]

Wonderful!!! Thanks for that. I´m just wondering about how he manage phase issues....

[@ClawLopez]

🧨

[@EricBarao]

I have the V Beat and it's ace on snare, toms and even guitar/bass cabs!

[@justinalexander7815]

🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@brianbauer3148]

I think I would go for the vintage or Z6500. Interesting idea not sure how the drywall mics would sound but worth a try if you have the time.

[@azvasamusic7095]

i really want this song that was playing/recorded! Is it out anywhere? Where can I find it? Great work and amazing input on the video

[@troyfranklin6191]

I love my sE mic's.

[@coffinaudio788]

I need 7 of each of these mics 😂

[@petertoth729]

Cool

[@peacealemede7484]

Its the RNTs for me!!?

[@lance134679]

How many mics do we need for this session?
All of them :-)

[@dickied3110]

like the Z6500

[@patricksmith7063]

Wow that is more Mics than I could ever use.....Nice results though!

[@pukestain5499]

Sonds insane, what drums is he using?

[@MrMerab]

S U P E R ......

[@pfsmith0]

Looking to add a ribbon mic.

[@dannykhines]

I would love this setup, but the church budget won't let me do it up this nice...but some great ideas and ways to dream!

[@landispearce9027]

the one 2 mini though

[@TomoGuitarlessons]

I don't know much about miking drums, but I know Pete is an awesome drummer (from my guitarist's perspective), I'm embarrassed I only heard of him a few days ago...

[@jeribergstrom8505]

I remember the days when it would be impossible to record without separation.

[@MindaugasKuodis]

Good

[@danw5462]

very cool

[@DougParkin]

Gemini II is handsome.

[@davidcervantes7560]

[@obsidianfleet]
