• To get a tight, punchy sound, aim the micro-
Microphone phone at the perimeter of the skin.
• To get a rounder, more open sound, aim the mi-
crophone at the center of the skin.
• To get a very dry sound, you can tape a strip of
felt or a piece of tissue paper to the skin in an
off-center position.
• When miking up small-diameter drums, we
recommend aiming the microphone at the
perimeter of the top skin to keep the micro-
phone clear of the sticks.

• To keep the ringing of the top skin from becom-
ing audible, you can switch in the bass rolloff
