The DM20 can be used on either the top drumhead, bottom drumhead
or both. Figure 9-A shows the DM20 placed over the top drumhead of a
snare, while Figure 9-B shows a snare drum with both the top and bottom
heads miked.
Close Miking Toms with the DM20
The extended low frequency response of the DM20 DrumMic™ will pro-
vide a rich and full tom sound. You can mike either the top or bottom
head of a tom with the DM20 as indicated in Figure 10 A or B, or you can
mike both the bottom and top drumheads in a similar fashion as shown
on a snare in Figure 9-B.
You will notice in Figure 10-A that the microphone head is placed closer to
the drum rim, while in Figure 10-B the microphone head is aimed toward
the center of the drumhead by changing the position of the gooseneck.
Experiment with the microphone head placement as the sound or tone
can change with various placements.
