| Squashed Room Mics
From the Joe Chiccarelli play book:
Spaced pair of R-121's in front of the kit forming a triangle with the kick (and into a TG-2). 36" high, three feet out and five feet apart both facing the front hoop of the kick. NUKE, attack on 5, release on 3, and input set to trigger at least one red LED (20+ db of compression). Solo'd it sounds absurd, but blended in with the kit mics the drums sound huge. We use these in conjunction with a overhead SF-12 and a set of LDC room mics higher and behind the kit.
