Many people think of drum overheads as “cymbal mics” - but they are (or can be) much more than that.

Overheads are super important for the overall drum sound and if you are not aware of their impact on the drum tone, depth, width and stereo image, you might choose the wrong approach for the result and vibe you’re going for.

In this episode you'll discover:

• the differences between overheads and cymbal spot mics
• what overheads can do for your drum sound other than pick up cymbals
• examples of different approaches and overhead setups for different scenarios
• the mindset and strategy behind choosing and placing drum overheads with the mix in mind

Listen now and up your drum production game big time by using your drum overheads' full potential - no matter if you're recording acoustic drums or using programmed MIDI drums.
