This article is excerpted from Bobby Owsinki’s “The Drum Recording Handbook.” One of the most important and overlooked aspects of drum mic’ing is making sure that the mics are all in-phase. This is really important because with only one out-of-phase mic, the whole kit will never sound right, and if not corrected before all the drums are mixed together, it can never be fixed. So just what is phase anyway? Without getting into a heavy explanation, it just means that…
