The not fountain head
Okay, so I've read that bands like Led Zeppelin mic'ed drums from afar. I have a stereo clip for two SM57s that I tried last night and this morning on my drum kit. It sounded good, about 12 feet away, but the high hat hits were really loud. I played around with EQ and compression/limiting and found they helped some, but the high hats remained more prominent than I would hope.
Part of me thinks the issue is room treatment, and I want to try other mics and mic positions.
Any thoughts or tricks on how to do this well?
