Three short clips of recorded drums with the overheads positioned as an XY coincident pair.

I used a pair of Telefunken M60 FETs as overheads, an SM57 on snare and D112 and Subkick on the kick.

For these recordings, the kit was close mic'd as follows:

Overheads (X/Y): Telefunken M60 FET pair
Kick: AKG D112
Snare: SM57
Rack & Floor Toms: Sennheiser e604
Room (M/S): Cascade Fathead II pair

The signal from the Fathead II ribbon mics was passed through a Cloudlifter CL-2 to provide an additional 20-25dB of clean gain. This provided a good strong signal with low noise.
