As always, excellent!
Due to circumstances im very limited to practice and playing @ the moment, however watching your videos reminds me you never stop learning, enthusiasm renewed and playing drums keeps me sain!
Hi Stephan I enjoy all your videos! It would be nice to see how Robert Venable would mic a bass drum that doesn’t have a hole in the front head. What are your suggestions for mic placement for a drum like this for playing in a club or recording? I suppose it depends o the music being played. It seems that most drummers think a bass drum with hole in front is the only sound to have, what about the sound John Bonham or Mitch Mitchell got? Certainly in videos of those two great rock drummers playing live they had no holes cut into the drum and yet got a sound to fit the music they were playing. Thanks again for all the great videos.

I’ll agree with the sanity thing! Drums have kept me sane for years!
Awesome again guys.
Thanks Michael!
Would the same advice be applied to micing a kick live in a small club?
Yes, the same general rules would apply for getting a solid kick sound in a live setting

This was great. I will now use this playing live as well.
Works live just as well Geoff!
This was great thanks. Would the same apply for live performances too?
Another great lesson Stephen – Thanks Robert for sharing your expertise.
Glad it helped Brad!
