[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 74494, member: 24"] Nope, just the one Mic set so all four drums are equal in volume so the drummer is responsible for controlling his own dynamics. This technique is a lot more effective at getting the whole kit with less bleed from other stage sources than the single overhead. The drum furthest from the Mic is the snare at about one foot. So by the old 3:1 distance rule everything else on stage is easily more than 3 feet away. When an overhead is four feet from the source that means the other possible sources would have to be at least 12 feet away to maintain the same ratio. Add the fact that my position puts the monitors firmly outside the mics pattern while the typical overhead is pointing back into the monitors to some degree and my position has great advantages.
