And so, I wanted to try and get away from having microphones right up on the toms and so I just had drum kit mics. So there was a mic that was sort of over on the left side that picked up the snare over here and the rack tom. There was this CMV 3, I don't know if you're familiar with those, with this old, you know, it's one of the very first condenser mics ever made by Neumann, and so that was in the middle of the kit and then I had another mic over here [on the right] so, these were C12As [gestures to left and right sides], I had the CMV 3 in the middle, and so here's the CMV 3. [plays isolated track, open another] There's the C12A on the left... [plays right C12A track] And so these three mics together would just give you, like, this stereo picture of the drum set that's really punchy and in your face because you're not in this big room, but the mics aren't, like, right up on the drums, you know, so for the toms, you know, the mics are a little further away. And then I had C-37As way up high in the room just capturing the ambience of the room.
