Not So Mysterious: Using Polarity As Another Tool For Optimizing Drum Sound Makes Sense… But Does It Really Matter? If you try this approach, keep in mind that time delay induced by digital processors and drum fill placement can greatly affect audibility. So to really hear the difference and set the proper polarity, bypass all drum fill and kick channel EQ, and then bring up the kick in the drum fill to the point where it is just on the verge of feedback. Now, by pressing the phase reverse on the kick channel, you should be able to determine which way is noticeably more stable. OK, Did That. Working around the rest of the kit, for every mic for the under side of a drum, set the phase the same as you did for the kick. Keep in mind that this is a starting point - upward facing monitors near a floor tom tend to be more stable with the opposite polarity than this approach dictates. What About The Cymbals? Higher frequencies and things panned hard left and right in the mains will often sound different, but there will not be a definitive “ better” sounding choice.
