The room the whole room & nothing but the room, modern drum ambience

OK feel free to use this as a general drum room mic & treatment thread.

I am trying to find a way to sell off some gear to raise cash for my new extension and trim down to a basic set up (I am expanding)

So

I have

3 x Distressors
1 x STC-8 stereo compressor (Keep!)
1 x SSL stereo compressor (Keep!)
1 x Joe Meek SC3 (Like SC2 but with digital i/o as extra)
1 x SPL Transvestite Designer

Random thoughts & philosophies:

1) Only weird people like Joe Meek compressors Joe Meek gear needs to spend 360 days a year away in storage, minimum.

2) There is justification for a 3rd Distressor on drum tracking, two belong on "room". Only college kids believe a Distressor on every close mic, is a good thing..

3) How is my old "Nuke Em" far drum room Distressor crushing technique going to go with using my new SPL Transvestite Designer on OH, Kick & Snare?

4) I should probably sell the Joe Meek and 1 Distressor

5) What to do gear guru's?
