I've always had a few pics laying around of certain snare mic'ing positions but I was wondering if others had anything cool to share. Maybe someone here has a huge archive of drum mic'ing pics

There is four of them, see picture #8. I think I didn't use the Rödes in the mix at all, only the C414's

CFH13: Do I spy Bozzio's kit there? haha
I think this will be a good thread to reference to when people ask about snare mic'ing.

Yeah I wasn't engineering (frank fillipetti was) but I was programming and editing on the project so I got to stand around while frank quietly wimpered "fuck my life".
Are all those pics you posed (except andy's I noticed) of sessions you've done? Cause one of them looks like the factory here in Vancouver.

Snare is one thing I always feel I'm still struggling with when it comes to the mic position. Sometimes the snare sounds like crap to begin with, but I feel like I'm somehow never getting the raw source that I should be getting. On top of that, I really dig looking at pics of mic'ed drumsets, gives me ideas and whatnot and it's kinda like porn. In fact I wish there were more threads like this for everything. Vocal mic'ing, guitar mic'ing, etc. A picture is worth 1,000 words man, it's so true when it comes to mic positions.

Thats what I usually do. Just as many expensice mics as possible to get an expensive sound.

That looks a little retarded to me... I mean... 5 microphones for just a snare top?
