Hey
just curious
slight twist to the what should I use for Micing drums up
what do YOU use to mic drums
Name the lot, over heads, bass drum.. snare ... and please.. please mention how many.. so say how many sm57's you use on the snare :P or how many over heads and where YOU PERSONALLY would place them
Rather interested to see what people do.

OH - Varies between a stereo pair Neumann KM184 or a single Rode
