Recording Jembe

[detuned6]

I think thats how its spelled.

Anyway, i will be recording one next week, so im looking for some mic TIPS. I will be using 2 57's and a CAD M37.
I was thinking a 57 at the top skin and one at the bottom hole and the cad as room mic 1 ft away mid level.

What do you think?

...Djembe

...and when we were in the studio last, it was pretty similar, 57 on top, close for attack, and we had one akg3000b below for bass, and one about 8 ft in the air, about two feet in front of the player as a room mic.
