Ken Scott's Drum mic'ing Technique

The March issue of Mix magazine has a nice interview with Engineer / Producer Ken Scott.  He talks briefly about suspending an EV RE20 inside of a bass drum … and gives a link to his Epik Drums Website.

epikdrums.com

If you enter the website, he’s got 5 videos up showing the mic’ing techniques he used when sampling various drummers.  The video of Terry Bozzio shows him suspending the mic in a bass drum (looks like an old Slingerland).
