I use a 3-piece kit - snare, kick, floor tom, hi-hat and a crash. I'm planning on putting a 57 on the snare, 57 on the floor tom, D112 on the kick, and putting two Samson condensers as overheads. But I'm not sure where the best place to put the overheads would be. Should I use the Recorderman technique along with the close mics? Any tips would help.
Also, what exactly is phasing? I keep hearing this term...don't understand it though.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

but if you're up for a good read, there you have it. I notice that you asked pretty much the same question a few weeks ago and got about 9 replies. To be honest with you, most of what was said there is going to be multi-duplicated not only in the links to other threads, but in pretty much whatever you find. Having read up extensively on what many of the drummers, musicians and engineers here say, and having experimented over the last 10 months with variations of mic set ups (anything from 3-11 mics, with, in some cases, one mic surprizingly getting everything), combos of condensers and dynamics and all dynamic mics and a variety of kit set ups (2, 3, 5 toms, 2,3,4,5 cymbals) plus different drummers, I'm left to conclude that there are so many different ways around this and that means that no matter what someone says in regard to the way to go, you are going to have to painstakingly experiment and try different things and combinations of things, which is not to say you haven't already been.
