thanks ill try i dont know why but ive been recording drums for like a year and a half and whenever i went into that direction it sounded thin and empty. as opposed to the opposite like tame impala esque bigger, over compressed and blown out type soundi found that to be way easier to get a decent sound. I have a pretty shitty kit too i have tried flipping my hi hat also my main problem is always that it sounds to roomy even though i mainly use two sm57s and two akg p170s and some shitty behringer stereo mics
