I don't no what you lot are on about,
this is the best microphone position
I've ever seen for a super rim sound.
Shame about the bloody microphone
stand though, Ha Ha Ha

Oh silly me,
now I get it, he's put the microphone
stand on around the wrong way.
It should be like this.

How do you manage to play this drum with the mic and stand over the head like that. Other than that I see no problem.

Unless I'm mistaken that's the mic placement officially recommended by the experts at Musicians Friend.
