and to get that 60's 70's sound= tune your snare down and place a cloth on top of it so it covers the entire drum surface, or leave a wallot or a pack of cigarets on the snare. I'm NOT kidding! The cloth thing was used by the beatles. It might not sound way cool whe you are sitting there, but with a close mic, it sound WAY cool.
just a little tip.

i know this may sound of topic at a first look but with scope board you should seriously consider to buy a v-drum;
if you put together drumset room preamp mics its cheep too;
no more trouble with the room;
no noise!!!
i meen its impossible to compleatly seperate the sd from hh f.e.
+ you hear the drummer over the mics;
more flexibility (isnt that why we are on scope?)
if you record audio + midi of the drumset you are able to choose f.e. a diffrent sd afterwards;
lets say the impossible happens and the drummer isnt in time with one or the other beat;
just correct the midifile rerecord and its perfect;
which btw. minimize the studiotime;
if the vediting possibilities dont let you find the sound your after;
just plug the midiout to any drummodul drumcomputer sampler or scope with a midiin;
the newest pads + sound moduls have a very high standart;
its impossible to beat the flexibility with whateverdrumset + whatevermics + whateverelse;
its like scope you know _
when you have it once you coulnt imagine to work without . .

the shure set I'm using is the pgdmMK6 set, not the beta's. I know it's not the greatest and finding the right mics is critical, but it still works out good for now, definately not the end of my journey with mics.
I can see where the v-drums would work out good too, but I like the live kit, all the bleed and everything isn't much of a problem to me really, you learn how to deal with it and it's part of the sound of a live kit too. The style of music can make a little difference too, what works good in one thing may not be so good in another, I do alot of reggae and I like the real kit for that.
