Yes!

not all the time, mic-ing the kit with all 57's is like drugs. "Just not all the time"

I heard Lanois did it a bit back, and I've been fukin around with it ever since - thinking back, as many times as I've set a kit up like this, I usualy dont have the nads to rely on it outside of a personal session.
I like the tone they get when you have 4-6 or more tracks of drums cut through 57's, it starts to sound wicked I wish there were other mics I had 8 of that I could try it on another model. But just overheads, and room on 57s is just the trick sometimes/
