Thanks for the feedback. Would a small room, deadened, be the best? Our drummer never hits hard enough (in my opinion) so perhaps this will be a place where it finally pays off!

While I don't have a 421, I do have an SM7....would that have a similar effect? Should I mic the front head, or perhaps remove it (I doubt I want to mic the batter head, right?) Thanks all.
