Re: Recording Timbales
Live or studio?
Live I'd be tempted to just mic from underneath with a couple of dynamics in the shells.
They'll be loud and bright with (probably) lots of rimshots - quick transients and not much dynamic range.... so mics for high SPL.... to me they sound good in a bright, open space.....

Re: Recording Timbales
ive only ever done them live, never in the studio
have always used an SM57 (or similar) underneath - at least a foot away (they are loud!)
they seem to cut through pretty much no matter what.
let us know how you go and if you discover anything interesting

Re: Recording Timbales
I've only done them live, either a tom mic underneath (whatever you like for such things) or a condensor (or two?) overhead. Maybe both if you're excited!
