I've been recording drums with my EZ1290 pres and my 2 mnats Rev A 1176's this week-end 8). Good drums, good mikes, good pres/comps/converters and especially great drummer: it sounded amazing!!
I like my drums squashed, I like my snares flat, 'à la Sardy'! 1176 are fast, if not the fastest, but it seems I always have to saturate my overheads post-comp to get rid of those damn transients poking through the mix... I'm okay with that, I love saturation, but I'm still wondering if there is not a way to make those 1176 EVEN faster, like "you shall not pass" fast ! Any ideas?
BTW: I bounced some drums from this week-end, listen to them here:

Kick is AKG D12>EZ1290>1176 (medium attack and fast release,4:1, about 4 db of GR, slight cut at 350Hz), mono overhead is Coles 4038>EZ1290>1176 (fastest attack and release, 12:1, about 5 db of GR, slight shelf at 10KHz), into my brand new Antelope Orion32 et voilà!!
Drums were Tama Starclassic 26"x16" kick and 16"x16" tom, and a 70's 6,5" Ludwig Black Beauty !
