Wow, old thread.
Not sure I have seen the OP around lately, but to the OP or anyone else famous on this thread incognito, your secret is safe with me. Why?
I'm Batman.
But actually, a few chimed in about the mono room and compress the hell outta it. I do that a lot too, works well for me. I usually pan it up the middle, though the mic is often out of the room and to the right of where the drummer sits. I am not sure if having two mics outside that door would really give any imaging properties worth storing.
I have also recorded a lot of mono overhead. Sometimes on gentle ballads and things where everything is in stereo, mono drums can sound really nice.
My drum room is about 350 sq ft, and right now I am pretty sure nothing of my mics would sound good (to me) for a room sound in that room. My mics are all cardioid only, though. I hope to beg, borrow, or steal some nice omnis at some point to try two room mics in the studio.
Interesting thread, either way.
