Message: [QUOTE="RemyRAD, post: 235294, member: 49130"] Just watch the Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien, David Letterman, et al. and you will see highly experienced engineers with drum overheads that are symmetrically placed (and most often AKG 414's LDC). Notice, no problem with that when listening to it at home. So like most folks, just do what you see on television and it will work. But don't murder anybody in the process, please. Conversely, I could play you any number of recordings that I have accomplished live, with only 3 to 4 microphones on a drum kit. Bass drum and 2 overheads and sometimes snare drum. That's all and it's out of sight sounding! Sure, you get extra balls from the microphones on the toms but that's not the be all end all. You just want other microphones on the drums to make you look more important. Importantly insignificant Ms. Remy Ann David [/QUOTE]
