Room micing for samples

[Carlxapm]

Another question i have in mind.

When doing samples for snare or either Toms, what are your usual set ups?

Top Mic, Bottom mic, room mic ( if you do, where do you usually place that room mic)

thanks

Normally I'm just using the setup that I have on the kit for whatever band I'm recording.
If I'm recording snare samples seperately I'll normally add in some stereo room mic's to mess around with, possibly an extra condenser mic on top.

As for placement of room mic's goes. It all depends on the room man. Experiment!

For snares I usually use dynamics on top and bottom, condenser a few inches away (facing the top head), and a room mic.

The last time I recorded tom samples I used a dynamic on top, a condenser a few inches away to add some space, a room mic and finally a kick mic on the bottom. The kick mic adds a ton of awesome low end, sounds fucking great!
