Recording drums with only two mics, is that even possible.
The answer is ''yes'' and in this video I’ll show you a few setups which will work great with just two microphones.

Why would you record drums with 2 mics?
Well, nowadays there are a lot of interfaces with only two inputs. Even the inputs on laptops and phone are stereo in, so they are 2 channel interfaces as well. And recording with 2 mics has been done already for a long time, for instance on the early rolling stones and beatles albums
And most importantly, using 2 mics on drums absolutely has a sound to it which you might crave.
