It’s common to face many different challenges when recording metal drums.
Drum recording ain’t easy.
One thing that I struggled with constantly was the issue of uncontrollable harsh high-end from my cymbals.
More specifically, my hi hats would always wreck my mixes.
No matter what I tried, my hi hats were always unruly and unpredictable.
The dozens of different mix tricks I’d learn from scouring the internet never worked.
Luckily, after years of struggling with this issue, I found the solution to my harsh high-end problem.
Was it better microphones for my cymbals?
Did I need better mic preamps?
Or expensive converters?
The solution to my frustrating problem had absolutely nothing to do with any of the above.
As a matter of fact, the solution to my problem didn’t even have anything to do with gear at all.
It all came down to how I was recording my drums.
Check out my latest video “Recording Metal Drums: Fixing Harsh High-End” where I go into detail on how I finally remedied the high hat issue that held my productions back for years.
