I placed the mic around knee/wurst position. When I originally recorded this, I used 6 mics, so I wanted to see how much of the full kit I could capture with just one.
For the mix, I used transient shaping, EQ, compression, bus effects, a tape plugin, and a limiter/maximizer.
The main challenge with one mic drum recording is that you can’t really fix the kit balance later. The balance has to come from how you play. Kick, snare, ghost notes, cymbals, everything needs to sit in the right place before it hits the mic.
I think that is a really important mindset for drummers to develop, even when using a full multi mic setup.
The SM57 is such a great mic. It is definitely midrange focused, so saturation helped bring out more energy and excitement. With this placement, I also didn’t have to fight the cymbals too much.

Music written by me
A New York City–based drummer originally from Japan, Mikiya brings a sound shaped by soul, funk, R&B, and hip-hop. His playing is rooted in the tone of vintage drums, giving every groove a warm, retro feel.
As a session musician and collaborator, he’s become a fixture in the NYC scene, bringing his touch to both live performances and studio work. We’re proud to have him join the Ludwig roster.
