Drums
Position
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 120°).
Resulting sound
More fundamental
tone,
little overtones
Less fundamental
tone,
many overtones
Commentary
Position on the drum:
3–5 cm above the batter
head, directed towards
the center of the batter
head, the fundamental
tone to overtones ratio
can be adjusted via the
angle. The most balanced
results are obtained at
an angle of 30–60°.
