Nice video. The only comment I'd make is the mic technique shown here looks more like a slightly modified Recorderman technique. The Glen Johns technique has the floor tom mic way lower than what's being shown here. Not trying to nitpick here but your demonstration could lead to confusion. Otherwise, great video, great sounds. Nicely done. Hope to see more of these videos.

I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near) by Michael McDonald. I know that groove!

Really great video. Good production, no fat, good and convincing sound.

That finale of the video is...(home)sick! 😎🎶

In the video of Glyn demonstrating his technique he did place the mics much lower to the kit. Maybe at about 30 inches. But he wasn't picky about distance so long as the distance was roughly the same, and it sounded good. The other thing he emphasises is running good console preamps slightly hot (he worked with the Olympic 1, and disliked SSLs), with the master slightly cool. And I think that would result in a more in your face sound than in this recording. Because his goal was to capture the real sound the drummer was hearing, since he figured the drummer had worked out how to get the sound they wanted.

Excellent vid guys! Thank you.

That little TLM102 surprised me! Quite different, of course, but the high end was really smooth and pleasant.

awsome as always

That was great, thanks! Also, interesting video direction!

Love these videos. The TLM102s sounded great!

This is very meaningful and knowledgeable video I already watched your many videos of recordings Iam from India I love your content..iam learning lots of things ❤ Love from India

very tight sound, always start with a good sounding room and great drummer!

Fun video. Good job, guys.

German & Dutch perfection

❤ any Neumann

Love these videos. Interestingly, I place the left mic lower and behind the floor Tom instead, still equidistant from overhead mic. Will have to compare the two now!

Great Video :) ) When I heard u67 i said to myslef "solid midrange punch but i would like to hear more cymbals/ high end" It depends what you need of course but for me tlm102 sounds brighter and I like it :) And it also shows how you can manipulate the timbre wthout using eq. Thats what legendary engineers were doing in the past :D

Could you do an episode on how to properly record a Djembe too? And as an addition maybe the complete ensemble, Djembe (2 or 3 parts) Dundun, Sanban and Kenkeni plus their bells?

5:40...what I think? I think this drums groove is a Steve Gadd Drum Grove...check out into the video instructional tape "in Session"!

Will this work with, say, two Sm81 and an AKG414 for the “center”?

Very interesting, thank you! The U67 sounds a little more real to me, but the TLM 102 is very close. The sounds are without EQ and without compression, right?

What about preamps? What was used for this demo?

Excellent tutorial and useful info about the inventor of this miking technique. Where do you source your valves for U67s?

✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

So chill. Connect wit me?

The micing sounds great, but Yamaha Recording Customs sound like cardboard boxes when they are not close miced.

oops. da ist ein L in classic abgehauen..

Absolutely... All you have to do is magically pull $20-$30,000 worth of Neuman mics out of your ass.

Tune correct the guitar.

Super!! Shall we be friends?
