Mix engineer Tommaso Colliva on recording Drones : "We had a few mono room mics, like the Neumann U47, an amazing RCA 44, and a couple of PZMs that we moved around."

"Dom loves that mic because of its clicky feel, and also uses it live — and we had a [Neumann] FET47 on the outside kick drum, which was placed kind of exactly in the middle of the hole in the resonance skin, and because you get that blast, we had to put a pop filter on it." - Colliva about "Drones" recording.
