		<description><![CDATA[Why use one microphone when you could use two?  Sounds like a great idea and in many cases it is, but there are a few things we need to consider before setting up the mics.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard this question asked quite a bit &#8212; how do I get a good sound for heavy rock or metal drum kits?  When it comes to micing up harder rock outfits you have to throw out the idea of micing things naturally.  There is nothing natural about a metal drum kit, just in-your-face mayhem.
