Bass drum: RE20
Snare drum beyer 201+shure sm98 (top) no bottom mic
Small toms AKG C451 +CK1 top & bottom
Flor tom AKG C414 top & bottom
Stereo room 2xAKG C414 in M-S
Mono overhead Crown PZM (not used much)

No limiting. Occasionally a distant room mic (NeumannU87) was added.


hahaa

i'll bet anything that at least 5% of the motivation for that post was to make TMH look like a fool.

Hunh... So did it work? I just re-read my post on this thread, twice, and every word is still true. The fact that he remembers (or dug out a picture or a log or something) and that he shared is nice of him, if not a little surprising. I still don't think it would be reasonable to *expect* answers.

And he really did say, and this is an exact quote, "I don't remember" when I posed a question about the mixing of that album. This may be because my question was a slightly political one, and was a question of motivation rather than any sort of technical data. Or it may be because he thinks I'm an ass. Hrm...

How about you throw those exact same mics on your drumkit, in your room, and you play, and let's see how effectively you've cloned the Surfer Rosa drum sound. I'll betcha we'll be able to tell them apart.

:)

Cheers then!
