Moved:Ecm8000 + Tube condenser mic...good for drums ambience?

[::XeS::]

I have moved this thread because "Production" is probably the wrong section.

I have an ECM8000 (omni) and a Superlux tube condenser (neumann clone).
Do you think I can get a decent drums ambience sound out of them?
How can I place them?
My first idea was to buy another ecm8000, place the Superlux in front of the kit (center, 2 meters far from the kit) and the 2 ecm8000 left and right, equidistant from the superlux.
But with only one ecm8000 where can I place them?

Anyone?

Hm, I have an ecm8000 but I've never recorded anything with it. I'm not a fan of mono room tracks as they tend to make everything more mono and often muddy. Probably the best thing you could do is experiment with a few different positions and if it doesn't work there are always decent room impulses.

And for example, if I use spaced pair mics? ecm8000 left and Superlux right (each one in Omni pattern)?
Which do you think is better for room? Cardioid or Omni?

two different mics for roomm will be perfectly fine and give you even more stereo spread. put the LDC on omni and use them both, it'll be kickass

I'm thinking to place them in spaced pair position, equi-distant from the kit
