The truth is out there!
I was helping a friend who runs a studio, and he used an NT5 Omni and a C2000B on the overheads...spaced pair about 30" above the cymbals. It sounded awesome. We also had a pair of fatheads in the corner of the room for room mics, 57 on the snare and toms, an nt5 cardio on the snare bottom, and D112 on the kick with a bluebird on the kick outside. Some of this seemed pretty standard, some seemed really weird, but it all sounded great.
Anyway, I just wanted to hear what you guys think about mismatched overheads. I'm definitely no drum recording pro, but I was pretty shocked that it sounded so good...I thought the balance would have been off but it was really nice. Also the SDC on the snare bottom was perfect.
I know the answer is "if it sounds good it is good". I just wanted to hear what you think about mismatched pairs.
oh, and I will post the clips if it get them...I didn't do the recording so I don't have a clip to post.
