This is straight up one of the best tutorials ive seen, just straight to the point, all makes sense and easy to follow, thanks so much!!!

Extra tip (costs a bit more money but definitely worth the price) : only use one of the XLR inputs of your Zoom for the backing track (you don't really need to hear that in stereo during tracking anyway) and plug a kick mic on the second (now) available input instead, like an Audix D6 or Shure Beta52 or Shure Beta91. The kick mic close mic track will add a lot to your overall sound (the kick is always the most lacking when you track drums with only a pair of ambiance mics).

This is awesome. I’ve had an original H4n for years, but definitely haven’t been using it to its full potential! This saves me from needing to get a drum mic kit.

I've really been digging this series. I'm equally curious by drum techniques and drum recording techniques. I really appreciate y'all doing these.

This is great! I used a similar technique for my last drum cover, but then using a overhead mic. Worked great🔥

I am completely new to this. I loved it. terrific work. Thanks!

Great stuff, I'll definitely consider the mic, and the mixing tips are very helpful. Keep the tips comin'

Just what I needed!

The most important piece of recording gear is the brain+experience, and Victor has it going on! Thanks!

Really cool lessons here!!

This is very helpful. Thanks a million!

Great video. I've been using a Zoom H6 with a kick and snare mic (and a week ago I bought 2 dynamic mics for the toms) and can't recommend it enough. Clear sound and you get to learn a lot about mixing your sound,

This was very helpful! Thanx! :D

This is gold. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. it is very useful for my drum cover~

Nice! Thanks for breaking it down.

excellent excellent video!! just downloaded pro-tools! ready to get started!!! thanks guys!! :)

Super helpful video!

Awesome sounding 🤘🤘

Thank you!

Great lesson, thanks Recordeo!Could you suggest any tips for recording only through iphone/ipad mic?:)

Amazing

Love this video, is there more Recordeo content in the works?

Thank u ❤️

That’s what I’m using a ZOOM H4N Pro digital recorder on my Yamaha DD-75 electric drums and I’m using a mixer board. I’m also using 2 SIMMONS amplifier speakers and Vic-Firth headphones

I had a serious case of Deja Vu 0:52 then 1:57 Great video! I'm going to check this out right now.

Cool video! I use a Zoom Q4 (two built in mics) for all of my drum covers.....works great!

All i want to say is, Jared its time to give Victor a pay raise. Audio Engineer's can make you or break you and Victor has played a enormous part to make Drumeo what it is today by mixing with excellence some of the greatest drummers alive. I know for myself I always enjoy hearing how he mixes different drum brands. So thanks for sharing with us . Side note Victor in your opinion which drum brand is the easiest to mix and is there a drummer or drummers you think has the best drum tuning techniques. Lol I know, I know they are all great but try to name some. 😆

The Sabian Sound Mixer Kit is another great option to record drums for cheap

Great video! I have this exact same unit, and I was wondering if you used the capsules at the 90 degree or 120 degree setting, and what each of those settings should be used for. I've also tried using the Zoom as an overhead and putting a D6 on the kick and an SM57 on the snare through the two TRS inputs and it sounds surprisingly convincing.

Love this kind of music. Very Soul Cages.

awesome

Great info. Your work on Drumeo its amazing, I love every kit's sound since the first vid I saw. Unfortunately I live in Argentina. The Zoom H4N for instance is about 400 USD. A whole kit of Shures costs around 580. (Not the best ones but some decent Shures). I have an old M-audio Ultra... Anyway I'll love to have one of those. Thanks for share your knowledge with us!

very helpful video man. thank you

i cant stop looking at the equipment hanging over the edge of the desk

The handheld recording devices are interesting, however let me offer an alternative solution... If you are not close-mic'ing everything and only capturing a stereo image, then just get a small format analog Mixer and a $100 Condensor and route directly into your PC. The Zoom et al are great for mobile/on-site recording but drums are what I would call a stationary instrument unlike a guitar where you can walk around and play. The "mobile" aspect is kinda unnecessary for the drums where you are not going to walk around and play at the same time. Check out this (Sweetwater) pricing: Mixers: Mackie 402VLZ4 = $100 Behringer Q802USB = $80 Yamaha MG06 = $100 Allen & Heath ZED6 = $100 Condensor Mics: MXL 900 = $100 AT2020 = $100 AKGP120 = $100 You could even route the click into the mixer via RCA and then disable routing the click to the main mix, you'd never even get the click into the recording in the first place, only in your headphones. If you want stereo input, get a cheap XLR splitter and pan at the Mixer or just do it all in the DAW. Both get you to the same place in the end, but I think I would prefer to have 2 distinct devices (mixer and mic) instead of having everything in one unit. That way in the future I can use the Mixer with other Mics and I can use the Mics with other devices (mixer, interface). Just my too sense.

great clear tutorial... whats the name of the track used?

I’m wondering about recording drums like this but then later using drum replacement software in the mix… and mix the live and the triggered sounds. Seems like it would be pretty easy these days. You could use an iPhone to record the drums… and then dial in samples of the exact same drums being used. Is there a tutorial video of this?

this is really helpful! what about bass drum triggers? how would i be able to record the rest of the kit with something like that and use a bass drum trigger?

Love that the video length is 21:12 RUSH on!!!

You can also use some of those Zoom Recorders as an audio interface. Thanks for the video!

This is such a great device . Are there any additional hidden expenses to this? or can i directly transfer my recordings from the h4n pro to the PC? does this require any mediator ?

Cool

If you are already using an audio interface, why not use some kind of large diaphragm condenser mic? Wouldn't I get better result with some of those?

fantastic video very comprehensive Thanks , ...which song is playing in background ?

Great guide! Can you elaborate more on how to input playalong music directly into the xlr input? I have yet to find a video on this.

what is the recorder mounted with? a mic stand?

Do I need pro tools for this Zoom recorder? Also can I add a mic to the input

yeah but how am I gonna mix them? maybe just 2 mics and bass and drums through a mixer and that through my field recorder?

I using Yamaha EAD 10

Is the Zoom basically the same technology as the Yamaha EAD10? It sounds good, but far too much cymbals in the mix. Killed the snare though

Thank you for a very nice example! What would be your suggestions if I am able to use two or three of them at a time? I would assume that the second one should be around the snare and the other around the kick

Very helpful but i got a bit confused with all the mixings and stuff

Hi can this be done for live rock music in smaller venues

On the Zoom, What level are you shooting for on the Zoom Display? About -8?

Great video. I've been thinking about the same concept, since my son is starting to play and is getting pretty good. The only difference in my approach would be to use multiple duplicate tracks of the same stream, with each track having it's own adjustments (boosting different frequencies on different tracks, etc.) I have no clue how it would turn out, as I haven't had time to try it, yet.

Gud werk

Any way to record an electronic drum kit with a phone through the kit out.

❤️

More RECORDEO please!! Actually it would pretty awesome a independent channel for Recordeo.

Great video! How well will the Zoom H4 work using Black Hole drum pads and low-volume cymbals?

When I started recording in 1961 (not a typo) we all used only ONE microphone, for the entire group ! Many hit records were recorded that way, LIVE, direct to tape, no overdubs, no EQ. Today's youngsters seem to think this is pure alchemy. Bill P.

What a great video! Very helpful indeed! If you don't mind, why does your limiter is set to -1.1dB ceiling? Anything related to KZfaq broadcast parameters? Thanks!

13:30 what are you comparing? you've got gain reduction only on every 2nd snare :D

what's the video editing software he mentioned at the end?

i would have use a multi band compression instead

I tried the zoom h4n pro recorder only but it is also picking up mic noises and other home sounds. Is there any way to eliminate it from the sound being recorded??? If anyone knows please reply.....

Technically it is TWO mics, not one. I find it easiest to record straight into the DAW using the Zoom as an interface, this way I can do multiple takes. If you are recording straight to the Zoom, you can record this in four-track mode, adding dedicated kick and snare mics, but then you are going to have to import and line the drum tracks up to the rest.

This method must need a good sounding envirionment... at least for what i tried with one mic the best result i obtained was recording with the mic placed on my right, at the hight desired (closer to the kit more atack and presence, or move it away so you can capture more room ambient), pointing at the snare. in my room sounds better closer to the mic and i like to add a second mic on bassdrum.

Can I use the zoom iq7

Any free versions of these plugins?

Looks easy doing hard

How about Zoom H2n? It record 360 degree, seems more cool

Sir how to connect headphones or in ears with zoom

dude high as gas

It's even work with a whole band

I'm currently working on a playlist with some of the sickest, most iconic or most surprising drum grooves ever and I could use some input. Any suggestions?

How do you have the music synced while u play and listen to it during your playing???

Sounds like Phil Collins on the drums

This video should be called "How to processed drums recorded with one mic".

Would GoPro hero 4 or 5 do nicely as well?

He should really clean that keyboard.

did I miss the actual recording part of your drums? Perhaps you could rename the video?

I hate live in Brazil, Zoom Cost R$3.575,15 (595 USD) here. 😠😠😠😠

Funny he doesn’t mention how much Pro Tools is. so your really not spending $200. Plus the stand it’s placed on. and on and on. the thumbnail was so misleading.

Dude this intro music was trash lol..
