@@NathanJamesLarsen Yeah he’s right man, and you’re right too whoever you guys should still do a video with a “fuller” kit, some more pieces on it, a kit set up that lots of modern drummers today use, 2, 3 toms, kick, snare, hats, ride, 1, 2 crashes
Umm there wasn’t a slight sizzle. The hi hat opening up even that little will be a drastic change to the sound. They probably recorded a couple takes and filmed it and the drummer played it differently than the record.
True, but you’d really have to EQ the kit mic to separate the hh from the snare. HH does sound quite loud, and the snare has no high end. But for the single mic the mix does suffice! Great example 👊
This is fate. I was just planning in my head today how i was going to approach a two-mic drum situation, and i was wondering if my JZ Black Hole would be good for the snare - and then this popped up. Wow! Theres my answer.
Only 3 pieces on this kit. I’m trynna figure out how to go about a drum recording with 1 overhead with ride crash and hat in heavy use throughout the song
Using a good mic is really important for this. But other than that it's just how the mic is angled it's naturally picking up a good amount of hi hat even while angled toward the snare. If you use a dynamic mic it won't capture the hat as much at all
You dont need a ton of mics, its true. You just need a ton of soundproofing, a ton of space, a ton of money invested into a nice kit, and a ton of talent playing it.. other than that- yea two mics gets it done!
@@NathanJamesLarsen serious question though. The intent was to show you can record quality sounding drums with 2 mics right? But all you have done is replace what was recorded with samples. You could do the same thing with 1 mic and it would sound the same as what you have here. What does the kit sound like by itself? Does it still sound good with 2 mics without the samples?
@@AC-kw7xx The punchy snare you get in this is how it was recorded - heavy use of distressor (compressor) and using what's called a "Phat Snare" which is a piece that goes on top of the snare head that gives the snare the really deep and punchy sound that DOES sound sampled. the kit would sound a lot more "natural" if I changed how the kit was actually setup. I can make a video actually showing the raw sound of the snare, putting the phat snare on, and then also utilizing the smashed distressor to show how much it manipulates the sound of the kit. Drum processing can immensely transform a kit.
I like it but the piano is throwing off my vibe you can at least add a bass guitar to make it sound better but that's not the point of the video anyway like the sound quality have a nice day.
If your a real drummer you know that this vid is fake (Cheap hats dont sound like that and the bass drum spurs are on the batter side And why did he cover the snare with an emoji sticker And i hear open hats and he did not open it ) FAKE 😂
Well yeah, there are only 3 pieces on the kit.
Could easily add more and still have a great sounding kit.
@@NathanJamesLarsen Yeah he’s right man, and you’re right too whoever you guys should still do a video with a “fuller” kit, some more pieces on it, a kit set up that lots of modern drummers today use, 2, 3 toms, kick, snare, hats, ride, 1, 2 crashes
@@NathanJamesLarsenyeah but you in particular should set that up and try it out, most people aren't just rocking a kick snare hihat combo.
What's this wizardry??? Only 2 mics for 2 drums!?!?😜
What can I use to capture a the ride and Crash?
You can see the hi hat opening but can't hear it😂 that take was fake
No, it just wast opened fully, you can hear a slight sizzle.
Umm there wasn’t a slight sizzle. The hi hat opening up even that little will be a drastic change to the sound.

2 mics to 3 pieces kit. Wow incredible, so maybe use 2 mics to Joey Jordison kit
Why the bass drum feet are on the batter side?
More microphones don’t change the sound, they change how you can change the sound.
No
It depends, and more doesn't mean 365 microphones for one kick drum..
i didnt know that a drum kit could play piano sound with the right mic configuration
I’ve done a drum mic setup with just 2 room mics placed in front of the kit and it sounded great. It’s great proof of this
Worth mentioning that this isn't just the sound of the kit in the room...
Why is the kick drum backwards?
True, but you’d really have to EQ the kit mic to separate the hh from the snare. HH does sound quite loud, and the snare has no high end. But for the single mic the mix does suffice! Great example 👊
2 mics on two drums. Earth shattering
This works, but there wouldn't be enough stereo separation if there are multiple drum parts.
daaaaaamn
This is fate. I was just planning in my head today how i was going to approach a two-mic drum situation, and i was wondering if my JZ Black Hole would be good for the snare - and then this popped up. Wow! Theres my answer.
Wow that does sound pretty amazing. 😱 🎶
1 mic or 2 yup it can sound really just rich and amazing the Nemean U87 and. Sm58 🎉
I quite like the sound
🔥 now all I need is a drummer 😅😂
Top
lets see you add a full kit and make it sound as good with the same 2 mics. Raw...no edits
If you add the rest of the kit… won’t work as good as that!!
kinda hard to use a fuck ton of mics on a 3 piece kit. like realistically you could use one more mic. if you really wanted to.
I intentionally stripped it down... I've mic'd the whole kit with a single mic and gotten great tones 🤷♂️
@@NathanJamesLarsen i agree with the ideology, just thought it would be better illustrated with a larger kit
The power of condenser mics
LOVE THESE VIDS! Great sounding drums! keep up the good work!
Thanks! Plan on keeping them coming!
all my TH-cam shorts are done with an overhead and a kick mic
Yamaha EAD-10 only needs one 😎 that's how we recorded our latest single (today!) - go check it
It’s such a small kit, of course it’s going to sound good with 2 mics.
🔥💯.
I like to organize my highs a bit differently. Cool concept
Sounds super good. Is that a Mojave ma200 ?
Your Kik is backwards!
So the secret to have a great sound with 2 mics is to remove all the pieces of your kit
Also can you recommend the gear you’re using to record?
Everything's got a kic when it's that small....
Easier to track a great kit than trying to make an OK kit sound good.
Only 3 pieces on this kit. I’m trynna figure out how to go about a drum recording with 1 overhead with ride crash and hat in heavy use throughout the song
Yea but how did you get the hihat sound that good with a mic angled to the snare
Using a good mic is really important for this. But other than that it's just how the mic is angled it's naturally picking up a good amount of hi hat even while angled toward the snare. If you use a dynamic mic it won't capture the hat as much at all
How would you set up the overhead of a floor Tom and ride were introduced
So like is it necessary to have expensive microphones??
So how much money do you have in the mics cables and interface and how much tweaking did you do to the mix I need to know
beefy
You dont need a ton of mics, its true. You just need a ton of soundproofing, a ton of space, a ton of money invested into a nice kit, and a ton of talent playing it.. other than that- yea two mics gets it done!
‘Drum kit’ yeah like any respectable drummers kit consists of a snare hi hat and bass.
Which drum set is this..Mapex armory_?
Please reply
The opened the hihat and it still was closed, 2 mics, 3 pieces, none of them playing irl.
Hmm never had a doubt but what if I WANT to use a ton of microphones?
Haha go for it 😂
Lol he has the minimum drums sets and use maximum mic set
Lol. That kits sounds so sample replaced you may as well just program the beat.
Or perhaps that sound is what fit the context of what we were going for 🤷♂️ gotta love the comment section.

There are only 2 drums…
Can I ask what kind of mic stand that was on the overhead mic ?
What mics are those, they sound really good
It literally says in the video captions 🫠
A bunch of egg plants in the comments, probably couldn’t get a good drum tone to save their life
I like it but the piano is throwing off my vibe you can at least add a bass guitar to make it sound better but that's not the point of the video anyway like the sound quality have a nice day.
Hem gezien bij de mc
Wait till you hear about copying, panning and adding effects!
Yep and if needed add fills and toms on another take or use samples
Dude, only have two drums ?
okay but what if u got cymbals too…?
Could do that stil. Just would change mic placement to not overpower with cymbals.
Its two drums. Duh
Maybe the audio is from a different take but seems pretty disingenuous to not even have the drum performance matching the audio
That snare sounds fat
A drumkit with 2 drums is not a drumkit....
Uh. 2 mics 3 drums is a good ratio
Hi hat opened no sound tho🫠
Your kick drum is backwards. All advice ignored after that.
Bro… he opened up the hi hats and it didn’t sound like it at all. Totally fake
We had to record him playing for the video after we recorded. Is this the live take? No. Is this "fake"? No.
there was literally no reason to make this video
Yeah put that big emoji over his snare and kick to show he not actually playing the same kick pattern and that small snare roll at the end! FAKE!!
@@j.e.513we did not film him playing this exact take but the audio recording was done exactly as setup. Sorry to burst your bubble.
@@NathanJamesLarsen Thanks for clarifying just the video was fake.
If your a real drummer you know that this vid is fake
(Cheap hats dont sound like that and the bass drum spurs are on the batter side
And why did he cover the snare with an emoji sticker And i hear open hats and he did not open it )
FAKE 😂
Fake.
