You name it. Both in mic choice(s)/placement(s) and "capture approach".

Totally dependent on the drummers technique, his approach/role in the music and the manner in which he addresses the kit he sits behind.

I don't think there is any single facet of recording I lose more sleep over both in tracking and mix.

Unless the drummer is a stellar MUSICIAN(as opposed to the more common great player-technicians)... then it's almost always a complete breeze, and almost ANYTHING will simply be a happy and relatively effortless case of "pick yer poison(s)".

Go figure.

Best regards,

SM.
