RE: A few thoughts


I don't, but my reference depends upon whether you refer to rock or classical. For rock, it is the Sheffield Drum Record. Contrary to your previous assertion:

You can mic a drum kit for a small jazz combo with mics on the snare and kick, plus a pair of overheads - four mics total. But for rock, you'll get mud.

the resulting sound is anything but "mud" to these ears. Are you familiar with that recording? That is exactly how the miking was achieved by Bill Schnee. Actually, the Keltner track used but three mics omitting the snare highlight.

My reference for classical is any number of Telarc recordings such as the Firebird or Carmina Burana by the ASO. Renner used a total of five on the former with no need for drum specific mics. Or, the Fine team you mentioned earlier.
