This city, known for its rich musical history, is home to the legendary studio Hansa Studios, where iconic artists like David Bowie, U2, Iggy Pop and Depeche Mode have recorded. Our guide for this Drum Production and Engineering journey was our friend, Moses Schneider, a highly respected engineer who honed his skills at Hansa. In this blog post, we will explore the techniques Moses uses to capture the perfect drum sound, with the help of Lewitt Audio microphones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Importance of Eye Contact in Live Recording <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">This session was a live recording of the band, the instruments were isolated from each other and the vocals were captured live with the singer, SAFI, in an isolation booth performing live vocals and electric guitar. One of the first things Moses highlighted during our session was the significance of eye contact in live recording settings. To facilitate this, the drum kit was positioned slightly forward, ensuring that the drummer and the rest of the band could maintain visual connections. This setup is crucial for a cohesive live performance, allowing musicians to react to each other intuitively. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Microphone Setup: Sometimes More is More <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">Moses advocates for using multiple microphones on the drum kit, explaining that having a variety of mics opens up a myriad of sonic possibilities. He notes that while sometimes only one or two mics suffice, using many allows for richer, more colourful recordings and in the mix process favouring one sound over another in different sections creates far more sonic interest. The more micing techniques you have, the more options you have during the mixing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;style&quot;:1,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1},&quot;fontHints&quot;:1}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62341 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-scaled.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-302x170.jpg 302w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-1077x606.jpg 1077w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-604x340.jpg 604w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-385x217.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_09_11_22.Still005-1540x866.jpg 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><strong>Choosing the Right Overheads <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">For overhead mics, Moses used a pair of the <a href=\"http:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/qz4QKN\">Lewitt Audio LCT 1040<\/a> flagship tube\/valve microphones, which are large condenser mics equipped with a remote control on the power supply to switch between various tonal options. In his setup, he uses an AB configuration rather than the typical XY or ORTF (a microphone placement technique designed to capture stereo sound in a way that closely resembles human hearing) setups. This choice allows him to capture the cymbals and high-hat more effectively while ensuring the snare and toms are well represented in the mix. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62342 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-scaled.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-302x170.jpg 302w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-1077x606.jpg 1077w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-604x340.jpg 604w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-385x217.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drum-Recording.00_08_55_02.Still002-1540x866.jpg 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>Kick Drum Microphone Configuration <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">For the kick drum, Moses employs the <a href=\"http:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/e1K3GQ\">Lewitt Audio DTP 640 REX<\/a>, which features both dynamic and condenser capsules.

He recalls a time in the early &#8217;90s when he was inspired by a big band recording that utilised a dynamic mic placed directly in front of the kit. This led him to experiment with a similar setup, which he affectionately calls the &#8220;wurst&#8221; mic. This mic captures the essence of both the kick and snare while allowing for distortion and compression to refine the sound.

He places these mics, that he calls &#8216;Droom&#8217;, strategically in the null point of the mics, in front of the cymbals pointing out to the room away from teh kit, to avoid picking up too much cymbal noise while still capturing the essence of the room. By blending these room mics with the close mics, he can create a fuller, more dynamic drum sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts on Drum Recording Techniques <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">Moses Schneider&#8217;s approach to drum recording is a testament to the art of capturing sound. His willingness to experiment with different mics and positions allows him to achieve a unique sonic palette. By focusing on the interplay of mics, compression, and the physical setup of the drum kit, he creates recordings that resonate with character and depth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-tt=\"{&quot;paragraphStyle&quot;:{&quot;alignment&quot;:4,&quot;writingDirection&quot;:1}}\">Whether you\u2019re a seasoned engineer or a budding music producer, there\u2019s much to learn from Moses\u2019s techniques. The combination of well-chosen equipment, thoughtful positioning, and creative experimentation can transform your drum recordings into something truly special.
