Positioning the microphone Drums Position Resulting sound Commentary More fundamental, little overtones Position on the drum: 3–5 cm above the drumskin, the fundamental to overtones ratio can be adjusted by changing the angle of the microphone. The most balanced results are obtained at an angle of 30–60°. Less fundamental, many overtones Use of a second 604 for picking up the bottom of the drumskin and the snares.
