How is this being mic'd?

Thanks, I thought as much.. Anyway this is leading to another question , so instead of using an e-drum kit I was thinking about programming the track and swapping out the snare / HH with a real one.

I'd dry mic the kit (57 on snare) / Beyer on HH, remove all the room / ambient from the VST and then blend them all in with a convolution "space" or room verb. Now, I've recorded kits a lot but I've never tried to split one apart, usually the extent of rock / metal electronic replacement is triggers used to layer the bass drum / snare. 

With this "frankenkit" approach I wouldn't layer triggers, I'd replace the snare / HH entirely. Anyone tried this? Bad idea? Good idea?

There's also a mic under the snare. The clip sounds pretty roomy, even on laptop speakers.

That's really acceptable in the heavily processed world of modern metal forms, as well as some branches of pop and country.

Nothing organic gets damaged that way... Nothing organic gets in the way.

Actually I think most of the techniques you've already used are going to be very useful.

Modern pop and pop rock is heavily programmed, edited and triggered. The drum sounds are actually very similar I find. ( to modern metal)
Just replace heavy guitars with  synths

I have quite a few friends who've made the transition from modern metal to modern pop with relative ease.

Mixing that stuff is attrition to me.  I have about 30 minutes until the ears start to go... maybe an hour or two max.  It's like doing heart surgery in the middle of a house fire.

This is kind of the opposite of what I do. I like to get the realism from a live pair of OHs and rooms, and then replace the kicks and snares (unless, of course, the real kicks and snares are good enough to use in the blend). I prefer to let the kick/snare samples define the "tone" of the drums and then everything else gets processed accordingly.

But hey, try it out! It sounds like a cool idea. Worst case scenario, you don't end up liking it. Or it could end up being a major breakthrough. No wrong way to do this stuff.

Haha very true.

I'm curious why you don't want to track real drums? From what I remember reading you have enough mics and preamps. Is it a space thing or really an esthetic choice?
