If only for a moment.....
He sounds like a circus drummer !For Binzo fans.

Take 2 overhead condensers, set them up above the kit and aim one at the snare and the other at the kick. That's just about all I know.
No. Just, no.
How else will he learn? Some things can't be explained.
If you've got the mics, mic the toms. You don't have to use the tracks.
Greg taught me how to phase align tracks and it really opens up the top end.
wait....you phase align? What? The toms?
More please
A link perhaps? Creep? Gerg?
I'll buy the bacon.
Mmmmm. Bacon....
I think that was just for the recording of the drums on "When the Levee breaks", referring to the famous stairwell. And these were just the extra mikes for the punchy ambience.I saw a documentary and the guy that produced it said they only used either two or three mics. I can't remember which. He didn't say the brand of mics. They hung them from the banister of some stairs.

I've long been fascinated that for a mic set up that has had so much written about it for 40+ years, they only ever did it once, for that song.

I've been waiting 2 years for that reply to this thread!
It's nice to see this though. It makes me realize that I have in fact learned a lot about recording over that last two years even though they feel kind of useless sometimes.
Shortly after this I bought a pair of SM81s from moresound that I'm still using
Not at the same time though.
I actually prefer using one mic on drums in a weird position - between the rack and floor toms.
I know it seems like it would sound terrible, but for me it works.
That's true too. Jimmy Page was also a great exponent of distance miking. He's long said that for him, distance = depth. He recorded guitars and drums from a distance.The 'Zed Leppelin sound' is not from two mics alone. The room, the player and another 100 variables made it sound that way.
This is kind of off topic, but I've had younger guys say that Metallica is their generation's Zeppelin, and that they believed Metallica is every bit as talented as Zeppelin. I think they're full of shit. Page was an experienced studio guy, as was Jones. Metallica was popular I will grant, but not as popular or as talented as Zeppelin. Just my opinion, but I think I'm right on this one. LOL!
Has anyone noticed the spelling yet? 'Zed Leppelin'?
