Overhead Mics

Capture the full drum image

Overhead mics are used to record the overall balance, cymbals and stereo picture of a drum kit, helping to glue the close microphones together. They are also useful for ensembles and acoustic sources where a wider, more natural perspective is desired.

Detail, space and balance

Good overhead mics should deliver clarity without harshness, while handling transients and high-frequency detail with control. Placement matters just as much as the microphone choice, particularly in room-dependent studio environments.

For drum sessions and live recording

UK engineers and drummers often rely on overhead mics to shape the feel of a kit, from crisp modern productions to more open, organic sounds. Matching the pair to the room and genre can make a major difference to the final recording.
