| Well, when doing heavy shit, it can be a bit of a gamble having that left hand OH mic so close to the swing of the drummers arm...........especially when he goes for a big fill or crash....plus IMHO this style of mic'ing doesn't work so well with huge drum kits (4 toms, lots o' cymbals, etc.) On heavy shit it's usually much more "traditional", in the sense that all the shells are close mic'd. I also usually do M/S room mics with heavier/faster drums along with a spaced pair for OH Then again....I really don't record a lot of "heavy shit"......that being said, I'm currently in the middle of a 6 song EP with a pretty damn aggressive band.

Did it on one Slipknot-esque group recently, too. I did just over two drum sticks above the snare. I made sure they were both equidistant from the snare. Kicks were not perfect, but I roll out a lot of lows on the overheads typically on that kind of sound.

| MySpace.com - de WO - Antwerp - Pop / Rock / Thrash - www.myspace.com/wokemusic was recorded in a very small room (put 2 4-piece drumkits in it and it's full) and recorded with this technique. I like it in small rooms. Herwig |

| That Recorderman video cracks me up. Such careful measurements, and then having one of the mics swinging 2" on every kick hit. Ironic... |
