Default Re: Bob marley's high hat sound?

Have you seen the Marley docu? It looks like an Electro Voice RE40omni on the toms in most of the shots couldn't really see the hat mic. I've heard rumors of taking mics apart and putting the diaphragm inside the hat stand. Never seen it done. My mentor played with it for a while but it was more trouble than it was worth in the end.

This would seem to also suggest that the stuff at island was recorded using EV mics too so wouldn't surprise me given the size and shape of the RE40 if it was used in this capacity. Could also be an RE20 off to the side or depending on era 57 as Albee said. I don't see any tape or dampers on the hardware. Theres allot of shaker dub in the hat too. What song are you trying to get the sound from?
