For a recent performance with Sarah McLachlan at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, noted drummer Curt Bisquera (Josh Groban, Mick Jagger, Seal, Elton John, The Beach Boys) employed a wide arsenal of microphones from Audio-Technica.
Specifically, he used an AE2500 dual-element cardioid instrument microphone on kick drum; an AE3000 cardioid condenser instrument microphones on toms; and ATM650 hypercardioid dynamic instrument microphones on top and bottom of snare.
Further, an AT4050 multi-pattern condenser microphone handled overheads, and an AE5100 cardioid condenser instrument microphone took care of ride cymbal and hi-hat.
