He also relies on the d:vote™ to mic underneath the snare and a d:dicate™ 2011C for close-miking the snare top.
Mapp attaches several d:vote™ microphones to the stand below each crash and ride cymbal, as well as another for hi-hat. In addition to the clarity, the ease of setup is highly regarded by Mapp, who depends on d:vote™ mics universal mount to customize Paramore’s sound. We’ve done a lot of different press and promotions around the world and every engineer who hears the band is always instantly impressed with how natural the sound is from the drums.” The only change I have made so far is to use the d:vote™ mics and 2011Cs for the drum kit, and everyone loves it.
