Ok, i need to get my recording of my drum kit down solid, and i've got a 4-piece mic kit. obviously one of these will be placed in my bass drum. but with the other three, everythign i'm reading is leading me to believe that i'm going to want overheads.
now i'm broke, like FLAT BROKE, and i want to try out this overhead recording technique but i don't have the means to buy two microphone stands for overhead placement.
the question is, is there a good alternative some of you have found works in terms of mic placement as overheads without using a traditional mic stand??
theres gotta be some way i can set up these mics as overheads without spending money that isn't there on these mic stands. even if i WERE to shell out money for drum gear, it wouldn't be microphone stands.
lets get a custom setup goin!!
i'm thinking maybe turning a cymbal stand into a mic stand. if you know how that can be done. either that or dangling 2 mics from the ceiling from some sort of device
