I agree. Are those walls really acoustic treated walls, or what? Wouldn't tracking drums in a corner like that have a humongous bass buildup AND have direct reflection central heading straight for every microphone?!?
Drum kit phase isn't only snare in that case but cymbal (ribon mic use figure 8 patern limiting bleeding when use on good way) with other cymbal...etc.
With this configuration you can't use 3:1 rule.
It's why Daniel is the man
Yeah, figure 8 has obviously picks up quite a bit of the room but 3 inches from the cymbal bleed from other instruments is physically blocked by the cymbal itself, plus the tight p/u pattern, plus highpassing and you can really minimize the bleed to a non-issue.
That has made one of the Dark Funeral albums completely unlistenable for me (not a huge fan of the later work anyway but it holds some production merit). It might be that I react on it just because I know exactly how a ddrum trigger signal sounds like, but it prevents me from focusing on anything else in the mix.
