Best of both worlds: two 2x12, one closed and one open backed.

I like 4x12s for the spread of sound they give AND you don't need to rely on the PA so much. I'm a believer of the old-school band mix... drums and vocals mic'd, bass and guitar backline LOUD (remember, this is what backline is for)

:twisted:

You have to mic your drummer? I swear to god all the techs who've worked with our drummer cry when they see it's him. I've never seen anyone hit the drums so hard!!

I am thinking about a Palmer PDI-03 this would solve recording volume issues.

yep, he's not a basher - got more of that late 60s rock drummer type of feel - that swing/looseness that drummers these days just don't seem to have.

mic'ing all the drums just gives the drums some extra punch/clarity in the mix and really getting them thumping so you can FEEL 'em in your chest.
