Here are the final versions of the “How to mic your drums” video that were shown at NAMM.
These are the first definitive videos on how to mic your drums with clear explanations and useful examples. It is divided into 7 chapters.
Dean K has used AUDIX mics for more on air recordings than anyone else out there and Mike Snyder is a professional clinician (for Roland) who speaks directly to drummers in terms they can understand.
These videos will be on YouTube soon but for higher audio and video resolution we subscribed to Vimeo and suggest that they be viewed there. For faster viewing make sure the “high def” option is turned off. AUDIX will also be making a DVD to be included with all DP series packs.

PCMag.com (formerly PC Magazine) is an online magazine that talks about all things technical having to do with the personal computing world. The magazine also has a podcast show called PCMag Radio that has been running for several years and it is aimed at their primary readers – lovers of technology.
Tim Gideon, lead audio and video analyst for PCMag.com, was put in charge for updating the quality of their podcasts. Gideon states, “When it came time to update the equipment for our podcast studio, we went through several microphone choices and the HT2 emerged as the best choice for us. We needed a microphone with a tight pattern because our panelists are all in close proximity and the typical omni-directional headset mics don't offer enough rejection. Not only does the HT2 sound great, but our hosts and guests are unencumbered with headphones or bulky cables, which makes everything look cleaner for our video podcasts. Everybody loves the sound of these mics! ”
All podcasts are performed with Audix HT2 microphones and recorded in Pro Tools. Please check out PCMag.com Radio at PC Mag Radio
