Add clarity and presence to your cymbals (in drum-heavy overhead tracks)

Cymbals Drums Metalcore Mixing Overheads

Have you ever worked with a drum recording that sounded good on its own, but when you put it in the mix, the cymbals just did not cut through the other instruments?

Boosting the top end on your overheads will only get you so far, and cutting more low end can leave you with harsh, unpleasant sounding cymbals.
