That's a cool little collage. I listened to the song "anthem" and I have to say it doesn't sound quite as good as it looks.:eek:
 
hmm.

It looks like you are cross firing those OH mics. That can cause problems sometimes, because the on axis sound has more amplitude, making it apear louder in one channel, but it has time of arrival problems because the sound it is "aimed" at arrives to it after the other channel's mic. This causes the brain to hear one channel louder, but later, which can cause wierd sounds, esp. with cymbals due to the high frequencys. Try it more coincident, but if you like the sound that you are alredy getting then keep it.
 
Hehe, Jake, and thx :)

Johnalex.. I might be my english, but I don't see what you mean with your post..

I usually (well.. always) use XY overheads.. I think it gives you a better stereo image. It's hard to get a 'wide' drumkit, but I don't like that anyway..
