Need Suggestions On How To Mic Drums

Wysh · 10-13-2011, 05:00 PM

I go way back to the days of analog when drums seemed much easier to mic. I seem to believe there was more sound integrity on my old analog drums tracks. Now that I've gone digital with all my recording gear I can't seem to get a good final product on my drum tracks. I've washed them through mixers, adjusted the high/mid/low ranges but still come up wanting. The drums either sound "flat" or have no real resonance or depth. Any suggestions on how to improve the sound quality?
