This was a video experiment to see if Zoom H4N built in mic could be used as stereo overhead drum mic in substitute of typical Shure SM81 microphones. The test is successful in that the drum overhead mics are clear and full, no phase problems with other drum mics, but with a slight bleed from snare & toms which was solved by pulling down mids just a bit in EQ. Comparisons of dry mix and wet with reverb and compression. Ludwig vintage classic maple drums Recorded at 24bit 48k
