# Diagram ![[Glyn Johns Method Diagram.png]] # Rick Beato Method Overview  ## Takeaways - BPM of the track influences how much we want the kick drum to sustain - If it's a faster BPM, we want to suppress the release of the sound so that it can recover for next attack - OHs - Two large diaphragm condensers - One directly over snare drum - One to side of floor drum to be directed at snare drum - Does measuring the phase relationships - Use HPF to change phase relationships - For non-linear phase EQs vs minimum phase EQ - use oscilliscope to see affect on signal - Panning - Medium stereo width (narrower) - Drummer's balance - This technique will work well if the drummer themself is balanced - Not bashing on cymbals - Drummer's Tuning - Make sure the thing that you are recording sounds good before you put a mic on it # Rick Beato Glyn Johns Interview
