The section includes a full drum kit, independently miced (2 XY condenser overheads, double dynamic
mics on snare, reversed phase, one dynamic for each tom, a bass drum mic). All microphones are gated and compressed before
committing them to tape. We typically record drums on 9 tracks, but electronic drums have been known to be recorded on two
tracks only, with very good results
