| That's funny that this thread came up. A couple of days ago I was listening to Fleetwood Mac - Thunder on my Pioneer CD player in my truck and was absolutely blown away by how awesome the hi-hat sounded. I've always loved this recording in general but focused on the hi-hat the other day. It almost seems to float around in 3-D silk. I would love to know what mic they used in that session. Obviously the awesome playing of Mick Fleetwood and tape had a lot do with it. Also, the fact that it wasn't squashed in mastering probably helped as well.
