A minimalist approach yields some fairly huge results while tracking drums at Gunpoint Recording Studios in Chicago. Bob Popp takes us track by track through his setup: A kick, two overheads, and an Audio-Technica 4047 placed 16 1/2 feet from the kit for room tone.

Why 16 1/2 feet, you ask? "Because it's a cool number," allows Bob. Listening to the results, it would seem that sometimes the most arbitrary choice is the right choice.
