| I used recorderman last time, but added a close 57 on the snare. Then I was getting too much snare to hihat, and not enough toms, so I had to modify it a bit (slightly changing where the mics were pointing). Ended up sounding great--especially since I was using a drummer who understood dynamics and balance, and who played the whole kit like it was a single musical instrument.
In other scenarios, I would close mic everything and do a spaced pair or wide ORTF overhead, favoring the cymbals.
