What are "closed" mics?

Do you mean "close"?

Gotta tell you, I love the choice of snares. You put a very dry and crisp snare with toms that are deep and resonant. Good going. Very nice contrast. If you are serious about a trade...I'll PM ya.

sounds pretty good!

I would maybe back the floor tom mic back about 6" or just raise is about 8-10" higher than where it is now.

Is that a TEAC you are recording with?

yes...teac a 4330...i also have the tascam 58

what would be some good vintage drum mics?

when you say vintage drum mics do you mean, vintage mics? or mics for recording vintage drums?

Either way there are the usual candidates and 9 times out of 10 if you use these guys well in a good room you can get pretty much any sound you like. namely:

- Akg c414 matched pair (i like for overheads)

- shure sm 57/beta 57

- Akg D112

- Sennheiser md 421/md 441 u (great tom mics - esp the 441 on the floor tom)

IMO it all comes down to how you use them. If you are going for a vintage sound you have to open things up, be willing to lose a bit of control and get some great room mics in a good space. if you close mic vintage drums you will lose the inherent shell warmth and fatness a bit.

like all things its mostly knowing how to use your equip to get your desired results

Here's what I use:

Beyerdynamic M380 on the Kick

Beyerdynamic M160 overhead (M/S stereo w/M130 or as mono)

Beyerdynamic M130 Overhead (stereo only)

If I'm close-mic'ing I will use CAD-m149s in a cardioid on the toms and a Audio Technica 4033 or a Beyer M201 on the snare.

The CADs and the ATM are not vintage so if you wanted to go that route try AKG 414s on the toms.

I don't like dynamic mics on the toms much... mostly because of the way they make the cymbals sound through bleed and the lack of transients on the heads.

How do you get the sound and the video to match up? I've been wanting to mic a kit with video and sound for drum covers but not really sure how to get it all to match up...any advice?

i record with my nikon snapshot camera and record sound with the reel to reel...then download on computer and turn the sound off the camera recording...and download the reel to reel recording ..i use nero startsmart program because it show the vidio stretch out on a timeline with the soundwaves under it...then you pull the sound waves into possition to line up with the movie...hope this helps
