With a simple kit set up, a simple mic set-up can be the most rewarding come mix time. The purpose here was to have these drums sound like a cohesive unit. The pattern was simple and as you can see so was the kit.
For the remainder of Bekah Kelso‘s new project I decided to go with a M/S set-up on Ryan Kelso’s great sounding Gretsch kit. A Nuemann TLM 193 cardioid(Mid) and a AKG 414 B-XLS in a figure 8(Side) I added Kick(AKG D112), Snare(Earthworks SR 30HC), Tom(Audix D4) for a little more definition.
This is the sum of all tracks. With a touch of EQ and Compression. The MS was decoded using Waves MS Matrix.
