Hello, I'll be recording drums soon and I was wondering, if I have the chance to use more than 2 or 3 consender mics, should I do it??
You can always put up additional mics then choose not to use them in the mix if you don't like what they add.
If you have the extra channels and you think you might learn something from it, do it.
Just make sure your core setup is good so you aren't relying on these extra mics.
less = more
That doesn't even mean anything. Less does not equal more. If you don't actually have an answer or know how to record drums, just don't say anything.
Steen's response nails it. Try it, use it if it's good, scrap it if it sucks.
My guess is it will suck. Odds are you will introduce phase problems that won't do you any favors. Stick with a traditional stereo overhead setup and leave the silly experiments for something else.
even in punk less=more, in classical, jazz pop, everything, it's a philosophy... GET IT NOW?
Use zero mics, that's so much LESS that it's too much!!!!
But less is more so no mics is too many!

Isn't that what I just said?
Greg, if you can't contribute sensibly........
I did. I had to correct an asinine misinformative post.

I'm just off to see my doctor for a 1:30 appointment. I thought it wise to contact a medical practitioner because I find myself in agreement with Greg_L so something clearly isn't right.
