Lately when recording drums I've stopped putting overheads over the kit, the room I record in has pretty decent acoustics and is treated well but the ceiling is very low(and also every mic stand I have can't seem to handle the weight of LDCs) so I figure what's the point. Instead I'll close mic the drums and then I'll put two LDCs in a blumlein pattern a few feet or so in front of the kit and point them towards the cymbals.
Just wondering if anyone else has tried alternatives to setting up overheads on a drum kit.
