Prentiss L. Thompson takes short trip through some miking techniques on the snare drum.
amplifying drums over a sound system are similar to those that an engineer would use in the studio, there is one key difference: in the studio, the engineer is trying to capture the sound of the kit (and often also the environment it is being recorded in), whereas in a live situation, the drums are being miked in order to reinforce their sound in the venue for the audience. The key word here is 'reinforce. For snare drums there has been one microphone that has pretty much dominated for almost 50 years. The Shure SM57 dynamic has held on as most people's go-to snare mic, as it adds just the right amount of weight, while its slight presence peak adds some crack to the drum, the Beyerdynamic M201 has also always been a popular choice. I tend to mic about four inches away from the snare, which gives the sound from both sides of the drum to chance to be heard, and also places the microphone a reasonable distance away from the stick danger area.
