Help With Overhead Placement

As for the dummyhead, never used that, never seen or heard of it being used. Like you said, it seems a bit silly and it can't be that good since no one uses it. So that was obviously not what i used

I've used a binaural head in recordings for my course, we tried using it in every possible situation. It worked well for medium sized brass sections but sucked for most other musical uses (Apart from when we threw it in the kick for a laugh, it actually gave a useful kicksound).

They are mostly used in film production, check out the DVD of Monsters Inc. from Pixar as that has a feature on binaural recording in the special features.

I'm gonna try putting some clip-on mics on our drummers ears and use only that for recording... Now THAT'S a dummyhead.
