The funny thing about that song, it wasn't even a decent room. Wasn't it a stairwell?
Surprisingly, my garage has pretty decent acoustics. My drums sound great in here....pretty dry without any muffling or gating whatsoever.

The XM's are no longer in production. I am seriously considering picking up at least 3 of the new X-O's, for drum spot miking. It may work better on snare than my SM57 and i5! And I can try out tom close miking, something I've never done (but never had to do, either).
For about the past year I was using 2 RODE NT2-a's as overheads, Beta 52 on bass, and Audix i5 on snare. I decided to dust off my 57's and now using those on snare, and will probably be using my new AT 4047 on bass from here on out.
