Used for the bass drum on "Linger", as mentioned in this March 2019 Sound on Sound interview.
In regard to drum miking, Stephen Street's approach was fairly standard for early '90s recording. "Yeah, pretty traditional in a sense," he says. "I might have used a [Neumann] U47 FET inside the bass drum. The usual kinds of Shure dynamic mics on top of the snare and under. Sennheiser [MD] 421s on the toms, KM84 on the hi?hat, and the overheads would have been two U87s. That tended to be my go-to set-up back in those days."
