Ha! I did the same thing when I rented a *beautifully* modded U67 to track a record, and I pretty much tracked the entire record through that thing.

One of my friends was hearing this project for the first time and he commented on one tune that I never really succeded in fitting all the elements in the mix just right, "hey man, every track has the same *exact* attack...did you track all that with the same mic or something?"

That said, I don't know a better mic for the 'drummer's ear' room mic behind the drummer.
