im hoping to get some ideas on placement for more effective overheads. right now i usually have oktavas on a dual mix adapter in xy, the left mix pointing at the right side of the kit, the right mic pointing at the left side of the kit. im just not sure, how far over or up i should be pointing the mics? in micing drums this is the hardest concept for me to grasp. please go in to detail and so if i should point them, right at the hats, or right at the ride bell, or 6 inches above the ride. i know i should use my ears to listen and all that, but i just need some guidelines so im not going in the dark. thanks alot.
