Mixbuster · 3rd February 2009

I place my cymbal mics, over the Left (Hat 'n 1 cymbal) the other Right (over the raid and the china) about 30 - 40 cm over the highest cymbal.
Tom mics (high rack tom, low rack tom and floor tom) - about 5 cm from the drum pointing at the edge
Snare - 'bout 5 cm from the drum pointing where the stick hits.
Kick - Inside, middle of the drum, pointing away from the beater.

That's it..
