Why Adding More Mics Doesn't Always Make Your Drum Recording Better

More microphones should mean a better recording. Right? Not necessarily. In this video you'll hear exactly what happens when two mics start working against each other, and one small two second adjustment that changed everything. This is the eighth video in The Drum Recording Primer, a free course built specifically for people who are just getting into recording drums. This lesson covers what actually happens when you combine multiple mics on a drum kit, why the relationship between those mics matters as much as their placement, and what to listen for when something sounds off after adding a second mic. No Logic Pro required. No specific gear required. Everything in this course applies whether you're using Reaper, Pro Tools, or anything else. New videos drop every day. 🎓 Want to go deeper?
