Default panning individual drums

do you pan your drums invidually (toms, cymbals) when recording a set? or do you just pan the overheads and leave the toms center?

Default Re: panning individual drums

Typically I will pan it as if I were in the audience watching the drummer. hat a little to the right, overheads hard left and right, snare and kick in the middle, tom 1 to the right and toms 2 and 3 to the left.

Default Re: panning individual drums

i turn on the oheds then add each tom track and match the tom pan with where it shows up in the ohed tracks. usually i only pan rak toms near "10" and the floor tom(s) will be inside that around "4" because they are used differently. it also depends on the music program too. some music allows for a bit wider pans. my thot tho is you can go too wide and it can distract the mix instead of making it cool. so, if a mix can handle it then tom tom panning can go a bit wide with the rak toms while also keeping the power of floor toms focused close to center..
