Recording Drums with EAD10 and ? (Suggestions wanted)
I have the Yamaha EAD10 system on my drum kit. It allows for a very simple mic setup and does (to my ears) a good job for basic recordings, with some tweaking allowed for reverb and effect size right on the module.
I have a 2 up-2 down kit and do notice the right side of the kit (2 floor toms, 2 crashes) are not picked up as well as the mounted toms and snare for that matter (the unit with the built-in mics is mounted to the bass drum hoop so that it's very close to the tom sources.
I'm thinking of adding 1 mic as a single overhead, maybe leaned to the right side of the kit more to try and capture those sources a little more on par with the rest of the kit. I don't own any microphones and have not done drum recording prior to this. I'd be interested in any suggestions (under $200 for sure) that anyone may have about pairing with the EAD and for rock/indie style, primarily.
