Alternatively, you could use two microphones:
Set the microphones up in a "V" forming an angle
of about 45 degrees and aim them at the perim-
eter of the top head.
Experiment to find out at what working distance
you get exactly the amount of attack you want.
The closer you place the microphone(s), the
punchier the sound will get.
To mic up timbales or similar drums with a top
hoop, you may also use the H 440 bracket to
mount the microphone directly on the top hoop.
To clean the microphone case, use a soft cloth
moistened with water.
