It is vital to observe the following notes:
Position
Resulting sound
Commentary
A
More fundamental
Little overtones
Position on the drum:
3 to 5 cm above the drumskin
The fundamental to overtones ratio can be adjus-
ted by changing the angle of the microphone. The
most balanced results are obtained at an angle of
30 to 60°.
B
Less fundamental
Many overtones
C
Use of a second e 904 for picking up the bottom of
the drumskin and the snares.
NB: The lower microphone must be phase-rever-
