I'm recording drums for a sort of acoustic Christmas album with
guitar, bass, vocal and piano...need some advice on mic choices for
the drum kit. Assume a standard drum kit and a song like Shawn
Colvin's Little Road to Bethlehem for a starting point. Also
appreciate any other tips.

Thanks much,

John

Mic cabinet:

2 neumann tlm103
2 neumann km184
2 sm81
2 oktava 012
3 akg c535
1 akg solidtube
1 soundelux u99
1 sm57

Here is what I'm thinking:
Kick: buy a D112 or maybe use the solidtube?
Snare top: sm57
Snare bottom?: akg c535
Tom 1: ? maybe a 103
Tom 2: ? maybe a 103
hi-hat: sm81 or oktava
overheads: km184s
