I love this minimalist setup, but (at least with all the rock stuff I do) this technique has become pretty much non-applicable and not at all relevant. Everyone wants the drums to "sound like Bonham, man"... That is, until they actually hear they hear them in a mix. Unfortunately, that 'sound' is not going to cut through your guitar player's 37 tracks of Rectifier(s), dude.

Perhaps we'll cycle out of the 'ear-on-the-drums' trend were caught in eventually...

Till then, I just keep this filed away for (possible) future reference.

Here's to hoping YMMV!
