thanks.
brian.
First is the drummer, then the snare being used, then the mic choice and position, then the pre-comp/eq (if used) input channel, then multing and eq'ing/compressing in the mix if necessary.

But the biggest thing beside the drummer and the snare is the room......very important to have the right room and placement in that room...

So many variables are what seperates engineers/producers/songs/artists/albums......
