Track 23: (Stereo) Overheads

RL: The contrast of the OHs have been a pair of old Bang & Olufsen mics down by the floor on each side of the kick, pretty close, pointed upwards.
If you solo the tracks it can sound a bit weird, kick in one and bottom snare in the other, but when you mix it with the other stuff it gets really buff. The OHs get the highs, while the B&O mic get the fatness from the cymbals and adds.

This is the same method as I described here:
