I couldn't wait...
I tried to be good, honest!
But I went the whole weekend without buying anything and the Mrs. spent the football hours buying slipcovers and pillows and such so I had to get myself 2 of
the ECM8000 's.
I can't wait to try these out as drum overheads.
Harvey, any news on how they stack up against the Audix TR-40's?
Also, an engineer friend of mine used to love to record drums from far field with a pzm on the floor at about 15-20 feet away. (it's an old Peter Gabriel trick he assured me) His results were always stellar providing the room was pretty big and the floor was wood.
Now in my crummy basement with the hard floor and lower celing
how could I approximate this techique. ( How far can I reallly back that mike up hehe) I am not sure what model/brand PZM it was...
thanks-

Oh yeah, I noticed in the studio pictures an air conditioner behind the drums in the photos. I suppose the poor drummer only gets the cool aire when he plays his parts correctly? hahaha
