Fairfax Studios on Drum Tracking

Fairfax studios is famous for producing records with vibe like it was lifted straight out of the 60's, so it's no surprise that they would track drums a bit more minimal then is common today.

RCA KU3A for overhead mic or if you don't have one a nice ribbon mic or a 47 will do something similar.

Kevin uses such a simple setup because he believes it allows the player to mix themselves and how the attack each piece of the kit and what they hear in their headphones is exactly what the drum performance will sound like and then the mic on kick drum can add that little bit of bottom end to the bass drum.
