Hi! I have been reading these boards for about a year, and i finally got my 001 setup with a G4. Anyway, i am having trouble with my overhead mics on my drums. I am using two Shure SM81's. I want to get a two distinctly seperate tracks.. On with the Hi-hats and the crash panned to the left, and one with the other crash and the ride panned to the right. MY Problem is, i am getting quite a bit of HI-Hats in my Ride mic.
I have the mics set about 7.5' off the ground pointing straight down at the cymbals.
Have any of you found a better way?
i also use a beta 57 on the snare, Senn 421's on the toms and a shure beta 52 on the kick. Any miking tips on those would be greatly appreciated, but i have managed to get pretty good sounds out of them.
Thanks for all your help!!
