[Ludwig]

Considering limited resources, for drums you do need to get some degree of absorption around the drums in order to minimize flutter. Again, try the thick blankets or curtains to the left and right of the kit, off the wall. If you are using just three mics for example, put one mic in your kick (remember, the closer the mic is to your head, the less low and more attack you will have) and two mics above as overheads. It is important to get the two mics equal distance from your snare to avoid phase problems, so use a string to measure the distance to center of snare and adjust overheads accordingly.

I am not a huge Beatles fan, but their early recording used one mic in the kick and one overhead.
