Recording the Drums for Gangs

The tracking of the drums was easily completed the drummer had a simple set up and the genre does not require overproduction so for this standard miking set ups were used:

Kick:AKG D112
Snare:Shure SM57 on top and Sm58 on the bottom
Hi-hat: Blue Baby Bottle
Tom:AKG C518m
Tom:AKG C518m
Glyn Johns overheads :2 x Akg C414s

The reason for the Glyn Johns method for the overheads, was it had been recommended by a fellow course mate and it was a technique that had not been used before.
The set up and level setting was easy for the drummer which allowed for plenty of takes of the track making sure that the recordings were a good quality and the performance was as near perfect as it could have been.
