3 Using Your Microphone
3.6 Bongos,
Congas,
Timbales
Fig., 8: Micro-
phone placement
for the bongos.
Place the microphone as close as possible to the
drums, aiming it between the two drums.
Alternatively, you could use two microphones:
Set the microphones up in a "V" forming an angle
of about 45 degrees and aim the microphones at
the perimeters of the top heads.
Experiment to find out at what working distance
you get exactly the amount of attack you want.
The closer you place the microphone(s), the
punchier the sound will get.
