Room Sound

Room Sound

The contribution of room sound to your overall drum sound is wonderfully complicated.  Have a look at, and – more importantly – have a listen to the careful work done by some of my Sound Recording Technology students at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.  They fix some microphone positions, and move the kit to different locations in the room.

The image, presence, and deep bass vary with position in some surprising ways.
