These were done spaced pair, with the mics pointed almost straight down. The pair was about 7' off the ground, with the left mic being above the ride/floor tom and the right mic being a bit outside the crash/hihats. I always set my overheads to be equidistant from the snare.
*Note: the SDC sample is a bit louder, so to make an honest comparison you'll have to level match it to the others. I did not change gain between the 12/67/251 capsules so any differences you hear are due to the mic output.
I thought they all yielded neat results. I was surprised I didn't like the 251's more. Perhaps they'd do better with a different placement. The 67's really did well on the snare, IMO, which doesn't surprise me. The 12's gave a good balance and nice articulation to the ride and hihats.
The SDC's were very nice. I don't normally use SDC for overheads. These seemed rather flat with good extended bass response. The toms sounded great in them.
