Right?


Thanks folks!

I've tried outward, inward, straight down, behind the drum kit, the only thing I haven't tried is suspending the drum kit in the air and putting mics under the kit.

If you know a drummer that's willing to come to your place (you can probably get one to come over for a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon) you can test all setups and see which one works for you best.
