The Fat Mic Drum Technique [Video]

Looking for that warm, punchy, and fat drum sound? Try this fat mic technique on your next recording. By simply adding an additional mic just over the center of the kick drum shell facing down to the floor, you can capture a more focused and rounder tone to the kit that can be EQ’d and compressed to taste for mixing back in with your other drum mics. Take a look at how I used the fat mic technique in a recent drum session.
