I kinda feel this way too, but there was this one time when a friend of mine who's main thing is playing trumpet recorded a kit and I thought all the mics he had arouns the studio were just out there to be used later, they were placed so randomly around the room. But he recorded them all and later he was cutting to just one of those mics for a tom fill only, or just one snare hit from another mic for 1 beat while muting the main kit mics. It was wierd but also strangely alluring. Not natural at all, but I liked it. I wouldn't do that sort of thing all the time, but it was interesting to watch because he has no engineering background, he was just doing things he liked the sound of. I learned some things from him.
