We set Behringer B-2 mics high above Masatomo and in the center of the room during drum tracking, so that we could get a more real sound image from drummers viewpoint and it also helps capture the live atmosphere.

Drummer Comments: I was just doing my best for what I was asked, cause I only had 2 weeks before the drum recording when I got the stuff from the band. But I guess I did good work! Unfortunately some drum parts are already recorded by other drummer…
