I recorded drums in a crap room the other day and I tried something new -- I got crazy and tried using 2 SM57s as room mics. I had them on small stands in the corners on the opposite side of the room from the drums. I was shocked at how good the 57s sounded. This room was pretty bad with a low ceiling and fully carpeted floor. But somehow the 57s really picked up the drums pretty well. It blended really well with the triggers. Really happy about it. Anyone try this before?
FWIW I also used an Audix D6 on the ride for a change. Really cool trying new shit.
