For you guys that don't like this technique on heavier stuff, a question : Why you don't ?

I understand that for metal and it's subgenres, drum room sounds is not often desireble (due to the sample replacing or whatever), or the fullness that it might give on the final mix might collapse against the 45 tracks of rectifier-recorded guitars. But how about going a little lighter...like nickelback, foo fighter or any of those modern rock bands. In you opinion, would it work for such bands ?

Nu-tra, once i recorded drums with this technique and the tom had a greater separation than with spaced pair. I could easily tell where on the stereo field the toms were. However, the cymbals were more centered than with spaced pair.
