Thrash/powermetal, real drums.

As for XY vs ORTF: I think ORTF is a good mid point between XY and Spaced Pairs. Erkan did a video on ORTF a while back & sparked my interest. XY is pretty mono, and spaced pairs can be pretty wide. ORTF works something like a drummer's ears. The array sits just over his head & picks up what he's hearing.

Thanks for the imput Glenn
Need to try it in place of my usual mono OH mic + spaced pairs
