what is the best way to sound a djembe

  • pavel_drumsss

    used to sound such instruments additionally at a distance of about 1-1.5 meters. Because in essence it is similar to a snare drum by my logic, and the sound will be fuller. And the main microphone to the resonator or to the skin, this needs to be experimented

    behind?

    the bass on my djembe is more like a kick drum.

    by the way, that's a good question. You can try this and that. I guess the voice acting in the front will give more click, the voice acting in the back will give more tone. If your sound is so low, try the rear microphone + skin mic combination. Thus, you will remove the lower classes normally, because. they need a distance for a full sound (the wave is because it is long), and with the second microphone you will catch a click (attack). On mixing, everything can be sub-equalized more beautifully.

    so, in fact, I thought that the microphone in front was clearly not enough.

    it always happens when some instrument has two working frequency regions =) please, how do you try - throw in a personal or here the result or just the impression that it turned out in general

    I advise you to use cardioid condenser microphones for sound.

    On a djembe, a microphone with a clothespin on the membrane is usually used. If you play purely while sitting, then condenser is certainly better.

  • solidator

    Does the bass sound in that case? I play while standing.

    Sounds, turn up the frequencies on the mixer to taste).
