Okay. Lets assume a standard sort of 5 piece kit.

Okay?

Is it tuned properly?

Dont put up any mics until it sounds GREAT in the space its going to be recorded in.

THEN......

If its a rock tune...heavy rock....

Gefell out about 2 feet in front of the kick

201 on snare top

201 on hat

MD421 on each tom

4033 for overheads
