I hate to be a nerd
, but that's an equilateral triangle, not isosceles. An Isosceles triangle is one in which the square of the hypotinuse is the same as the sum of the square of the other two sides. That said, I'm trying this technique tomorrow. If it turns out well, I'll post a video. Thanks for the info.

I just got an awesome drum sound last few days at home on my tascam analog/ tape unit- close mic in kick, close mic on hi-hat and 2 matching, equally spaced condensers like he's done here. I have to say this Glyn Johns stuff is great but it does NOT mean you have to follow it like a religion, expand/ experiment a little, but the basic concept of capturing toms ( be sure to EQ - and cymbals w/ condnsers is great- 'always loved that lively sound ( versus close miking, gating the toms to death!).

Just tested this set-up with a live gig. Limited to 8 channels of recording, so the fewer drum mics, the better. Worked perfectly.
This is a Starting point. The measurements are to get started. Phasing must be checked with a phase meter or a mono/null test. The kick mic can be straight in to the kick, or off to the side, again, the measurement is just a starting point.
