I second the U195 to 512 to distressor on kick. You can just put it up and it sounds good. A little tweeking and it sounds amazing. But, I like LDCs on kick.

It also sounds great if you're doing a single mic thing. If you find your kit /room's sweet spot and give it a good smashing with the distressor it can be a beautiful sound. I've tried this with different mics and the U195 was by far the best. Sm57 came in second.

Oh yeah, and my new favorite for overheads is a pair of 414s in either omni or cardioid to a 2-610 with a single notch(1.5db) taken off 7 or 10k.
It takes the edge off in such a nice way. -AE

For quiet hand percussion I've developed a preference for the AKG D321.

Just cause it puts out more.

Ooops! 312. It's Dwelle's stuff, he should know.

'Sup dude? Isn't it nice to have the ol' TOMB back? I'm coming back to V-town tonight. We should have a beer this weekend and I'll get those drums out of your space. -AE

(sorry for the quick hijack, just had to make that correction)
