For the past few days, I've been messing around in my home studio with microphones and Ableton and figuring out how to record drums for my tracks. It turned out to be successful and I've decided to record all drums myself instead of hiring someone. Although I am not an incredibly skilled drummer, I can still get by with basic pop beats and comping. I posted a snippet of my song She's Gone Away on sound cloud and the drums on that are all me and only using two microphones!
Here is a picture of my makeshift mic placement for the kick drum. That's a Shure SM56 mic, which is primarily used as a vocal mic. I recorded snare and hi-hat with a Shure SM57 mic, which is standard for snare and hi-hat, but not both at the same time! However, the result sound wasn't that bad.
Excuse the silly shirt! It was comfortable in the heat during that day!
