3u Audio CM-1 Teal Samples
CM-1 Teal Overheads Only - Spaced pair 50.5" from center of bass drum batter head hoop, 6 feet from floor.
CM-1 Teal Overheads with all drum mics added. SM57 on main snare batter, Audix i5 on side snare batter, EV ND868 on Kick Res, 16" and 18" floor toms, CAD M179 on 10", 12" and 14" toms, Apex 210 ribbons mics in room.
The CM-1 mics were run through the preamps on the Scarlett 18i20. These are the most transparent preamps I have, so I could hear the sound of the mics uncolored by transformers or tubes.
These clips show the mics as overheads only, then all the drum mics, then in the full mix.
