That SMART guy.
I noticed last saturday while mixing concerts, that I the dums sounding good (enough :D ) on the 'normal' or loud parts, but they really lost it when the drummer was playing softly... Especially the clicks (stick horizontal on snare and ticking on the rim-thingy) sounded terrible.

Is this normal? Some of it comes from the drums itself, but it sounded really really bad... (I recorded it, but I haven't checked it yet... Might be able to get some samples here next week.)
 
That's a bitch to mic and get sounding good. I have be know to have 2 mics one for side sticking and another for straight snare. Tell them to get a block or what not if they want it to sound good!
