Less attackPosition the microphone
in the middle between
the batter head and the
re-sonant head. For less
attack in all three
positions,
turn the microphone
away from where the
beater strikes.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 180°; see polar diagram).
