hi hat trick tony visconti

reading 'behind the glass' for the second time ,

just tried the tony visconti hi hat trick of taping a mic to the top bar .
( im using a 57 as i like its dirty sound on hats )

the mic moves up and down with the top cymbal , so stays same distance away , and picks up the stick hits really nice , with a nice opening hat sound as well, and a lovely CHICK sound

i use a little wedge between the mic and rod to angle it out a bit towards the hit area instead of straight down at the top cup .
capsule is about 4- 5 inches from the stick area doing this

cable is hanging above from a stand so it doent droop down on the hats .

really kills all spills as well.

worth a try .



i also want to split a 57 into a right angle for snare use .

Might give this a go next session I do if I remeber it. Sounds interesting and could be really nice

just make sure to hi pass from 250 or so up to take out rumbly junk

and the mic is actually closer , more like 3 inches to 4 max to the stick area.

still like it so far.
