  What mics are you using on overheads and rooms?

  Lets not forget this technique started being a three mic technique, with the kick mic equally distant of both overheads. Forming an isosceles or equilateral triangle.

  Love when people admit that they might be late to the party, but it doesn't stop them from sharing that something is amazing. I do this all the time and don't care if most everyone knew it a decade ago or whatever.

  Love your videos! I may have misunderstood what you were saying but I wanted to just provide a helpful tip for anyone watching that may have been confused on the Pultec EQ (~7min). The second attenuation volume knob applies to the attenuation selector knob in the corner NOT to the high frequency selector. It's a poor layout and design choice, but that's how it goes! In this example 16kHz is bell-boosted by +7db at setting 4 and 10khz is shelf-cut by -3db at setting 2)

  Me starts watching video in my phone and when Andrew goes into Pro-Tools I immediately turn on my studio monitors and hears a difference..

  Been using this technique for years with great results. A few things to think about. <br>If you’re going for that 70s rock sound with this technique think a lot about drum head choice and tuning. Bonham, Mitch mitchel, Ginger Baker all tuned their kits way up like a big band jazz drummer. They used coated heads and often a solid front head. If you go that way, &nbsp;your room mic really takes on a bigger roll in the mix once you compress it. <br>A wooden beater can also help a lot if you’re not getting enough snap from the bass drum head. <br>Fight the urge to put moongels on the drums and your laundry in the bass drum!

  I went Gynn Johns about 3 months ago and haven&apos;t done a single session with anything else since. It just plain sounds better than dual overhead.

  I remember first discovering the Glynn John’s technique when I was 14 trying to get good drum tones in my parents basement. Such an incredible technique! It will always have a special place in my heart. In my experience it doesn’t always work in large rooms as I came to discover later on, but in smaller to medium sized rooms it’s incredible!

  Hypercardiod on the mic by the tom! Really nice. I learned a trick from Hoborec where you use tone generators to reinforce drum mics w/ side chained gate. If you close mic your shells and blend use the technique you can find a blend between this smashed sound and a natural/sample punch
