It was a binson. and coles 4038's IIRCsoundguy wrote:
Legend has it that its two mics hung from the second story landing and thats it. the room was far too small for that slap you hear and it was probably added with a binson echorec if the gearlist for the truck is at all accurate. If you listen to the records, this micing setup would pretty much set precedent for page's approach to bonhams drum sound for the bulk of everything they would record afterward, just take off the slap delay...

Great! Love that. Wow, Junior Brown has always been a hero of mine. How was the bass mic'd? I love how the bass carries the low-end and is percussive or thumpy enough to sort of BE the kick-drum.AGCurry wrote:Never got to album status, but here's one my band (Billy Spears Band) recorded in 1977. Nice vintage sound, partly because the drummer, Bud Pettit, insisted on one drum mic, overhead. That's Junior Brown singing and playing guitar, and me on the upright bass. Billy Spears on fiddle.

Some of the drum-like noise you hear is my bass.

INDEED. It kinda sucks the life out of a good mono drum sound, but you can pretty much do anything you want to balance the sound. I wish the multiband compressors (waves only ) that I have access too could somehow do what they do and maintain some sort of dimension...!Ethan Holdtrue wrote:With the right multi-ban settings you will be very suprized at what you can get...jckinnick wrote:The Flaming Lips album?

Talk Talk's album "Laughing Stock". Drums done with one U47. It is talked about in detail in the old TapeOp issue when Phil Brown talks about recording Talk Talk. One of my most favourite albums EVER!
I know enough to know that I don't know what I am doing.

Sharon Jones
Most of the albums put out by the Daptone and Truth and Soul labels were done with 1 or 2 mics on drums. Down and dirty, gritty oldschool funk. Love this sound.

Well, it was almost 30 years ago. I believe it was simply one LDC about 2 feet away, a little above bridge height. For more cuts from this session, you can visitDrewcifer wrote: Great! Love that.

Junior didn't have his git-steel yet, so each of these cuts has him playing either his Gibson ES-330 or Bob Case's Sho-Bud pedal steel.
