[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 122711, member: 42"] Re: Overheads: small vs LARGE condenser In the room I work in, I don't use overheads for anything but capturing the very top end of the metal. So I use SDCs and close mic the metal. I don't see any need for LDCs in that application. I'm just looking for the high ping of the ride, the top end sizzle of the hat, and the breath of the crashes. The room has more than enough of the rest of the cymbal wash coming off stage and into other open mics. All other drums are close mic'd and again, I have no desire to pipe the toms and snare through the overheads. Hard high pass and additional low shelf so I'm only grabbing above 6k from the metal.
