Hey no prob Soren. Well, Agosto mentioned Neal Pert taping a PZM to his chest and you mentioned micing behind the drummer, so to culminate the two: Have you guys ever put PZM's behind the drummer to "hear what they hear."

Even weirder one I thought of: Use a 4’ square of 1/4” plywood with two holes for hanging from ceilings, and hang in front of or behind a drum set for a very nice overall sound, with no need for close mics except perhaps a kick mic when the PZM is behind the drummer’s head. Using this “one-mic” technique also cuts down on phase problems, and I think that cymbals sound much better with this method compared to using a pair of overheads plus close mics.
