    Snares on top is actually genius. Sounded good, and might help in recording. Usually you need eq treatment to boost the snaretop mics topend frequencies to get it to sound right, but that almost always makes the hihat sound to harsh becuase of the bleed and proximity to the snare. So actually just getting that snap and highs from the snare itself really solves that issue!

    Am I the only who gets the impression that putting duct tap on the wires maybe very useful? A lot of drummers like to turn off the wires during a solo. But the way Zack played apparently used both sounds (with and without the wire) without actually turning on and off the snare wire. The rim shots give the impression that the wires are turned off (which I don't think it's normal), while regular strokes the opposite.
    And it sounds great!
