DPA omni as mid in m/s overheads?!
Tracking drums on Sunday and have a single DPA omni microphone to use. I'm thinking the DPA as the mid in a m/s config with a superlux R102 ribbon for the side. Going for a natural sound, with a bit of modern punch. Thinking about putting a xformerless 57 on snare, getting a little bit of SPL transient designer if needed, d112 on kickm again with an SPL, also a ns10 sub kick for a bit of ooomph. Just for the record, the room isn't huge, but is very well treated and sounds good. Does this sound like a good idea? I've heard mixed things about using omnis for the mid mic....

you can most certainly use the omni as the mid.

when you sum the two(assuming you mix them equally), the resultant pattern will look like two cardiods back to back.
