| i usually use 3 451eb's, two overheads, one snare, and the typical close mics.
however, i found cymbals to be very important, so i have invested into:
-two pairs of hihats, 15'' smooth vintage avedis, and 14'' dave weckl sabians
-two rides - 21'' vintage avedis big bell, and A custom 20'' flat top (no bell)
- all the crash cymbals are k custom zildjian hybrid cymbals which have a warm tone for cymbals and never sound harsh, they seep through the mix instead of cuttin through. (half hand hammered, and half lathe treatment |
