Drum Overheads

i was going to try something like that, but there was seriously no room to spare in there...i had thrown down some industrial carpet i'd taken from work over the cement floor, and slapped a bunch of acoustic foam on the walls - which i had drywalled in - and we got by on it

i wasn't too interested in spending any more money than that treating an outdoor shed...then i moved out of that place, so now i'm back to your typical bedroom deal :cry:
 
so would any body have any tips on achieving alittle more definition in the cymbals. It sounds just like Wash to me. the only thing that im getting defintion outa would be china..... duhhhh lol.

Like is that a mic or room thing?
 
it could be both, but it's probably the room...start looking up general tips on room treatment - absorption, diffusion, etc, and it should help out a lot
 
Ok guys i thought i may aswell just record something and get you Guys to hear it and get some tips, Heres a song me and my friend wrote and recorded in a couple of hours so the playing could be a bit tighter, but i wanted to mainly test these overheads.

Ok the deal is i moved into that garage i mentioned. i Had SM57, on toms Rode M3 on snare, and a Shitty Shure PG series Kick, but i Drumagogd that anyway.

Garage is a standard car garage bout 10x12 METERS!! (lol)
Concrete Floor
Brick Walls
Fullsize Garage Doors at Both ends (metal)

OH mics were Just a brand called Legacy, Axis 6, now before you think shitty gear, these things sound fantastic for the price. they are very very clear and i found hard to pick a great amount of diference between a RODE NT1-A. Point is tho, its an entry level Mic. They were Spaced pair about 2 feet above cymbals

Processing, HPF at 200 hz, panned hard left right

Any other random gear u can ask me bout like gtrs and DAW.

Any help Appreciated,
