Old school drum recording techniques

There's been a lot of talk about drum recording lately, and it's been interesting reading about how people go after the modern sound with each drum miced individually and (ideally) popping out of the mix. But how were drums typically miced on the recordings of the 60's - James Brown, Atlantic/Stax, Motown, Beatles, old-school Nashville, 50s Jazz?

da/ad convertion: digi oo2r or oldschool hd?

i'm currently building my recording rig. the ability to upgrade in the future is crucial. everything is cool except for one thing: the digital section.

i was contemplating getting the digi 002r thinking that i could use an Apogeeconverter or something of the sort.
aparently the 002's optical i/o only go up to 48khz. so i say to myself "what?"
