About the recorderman technique

[djanogil]

I've been trying that technique today and think it works well but would like to know how do you guys pan the mics.
From the listener or from the drummer perspective?
I did it from the drummer perspective but I guess both can work..

Also I like the fact that you get a good balance of the kit, but in a way it's not the most realistic representation of the kit as you don't hear the different elements in their respective positions (like you get with a spaced pair overhead).

Anyway as my room isn't big and as I don't use tom mics it's quite appropriate to get a good overall balance.
