Ceasar · 8th February 2010

does anybody have any recordings they might have done with recording an entire drumset, minus the kick and room mikes with only sm57s?

i dont have that many 57's to try out but i was wondering if miking a kit with only 57s make the outcome sounds too 'low endish'?

i read everywhere that 57's sound great on everything.
so yeah.. good or bad?
