can i ask why you used the line driver on the snare?

that room looks like it sounds nice for drums

 

[greyskull]

sure dood,
the kms is such a loud mic that you gotta have the pre really low so it doesnt clip, so i use it to boost the level and well... because it sounds good!

it does indeedy... but only if the drummer can play/hits the things.
if you've got a pansy drummer the room can sound way way too dry
