DRUM MIC TIPS: WHAT IS A COCKROACH MIC?

WHAT IS A COCKROACH MIC???? Hello everyone. Here is the 3rd installment of my drum mic tips video series featuring Heil microphones. The series is based upon mic tips for home recording using only an 8 channel interface. The first 7 mic inputs used are 2 OH, 2 Snare, 2 Tom, and 1 Bass Drum. So in a few of my vids I discuss how to best use that 8th channel. In this episode, you will learn a very unique mic placement technique I call the Cockroach Mic Technique. This mic can add a special Bonham-esque boom to the drum sound without having to use a room mic, or in conjunction with a room mic to add a unique kind of boom a room mic alone can’t do. This method is especially useful for when you don’t have room to use a room mic. It’s also a great thing to have for boosting the drum sound through the whole mix, or just boosting the sound in the bridge or chorus of a song. This is also a great vid for those who want to know how the Heil Sound Drum Mic kit sounds in the studio. All drum sounds are raw from the Heil microphones. No FX, and no EQ except shelves. I will say these mics have performed incredibly well. The -40 dB 180 degree rear rejection of the PR30B’s I used for my OH’s was ESSENTIAL to getting a great OH drum sound in a home with a low roof. Moreover we simply put the mics up, adjusted the gain on the pre amps, and BOOM we had a great drum sound in the OH’s. It was the same with PR28 on the tom. We literally put it up, set the angle, and preamps, and we instantly had a great tom sound. The PR31 on the floor tom took a bit of fine tuning for the angle, but once there we had a phenomenal sound for the floor tom. An especially clean sound due again to the -40dB 180 degree rear rejection. Just FYI, the PR22 has become one of my fave snare mics of all time.
