Different pencil condensers from cheapo to schoeps. The c451b seems to work best so far. Into an vt737, strong filtering in the lows, a bit of a boost in the highs. In pro tools some reel tape sat plus some analogue ch plus some gml eq. Tried the waves Helios emulation, but it didn't work for me.
I feel I'm getting close. 95% there. But I just can't get the last 5%...
Has anyone got any tips?
Thanks,

You might also get your drummer to change hihats to whatever Carlton Barrett used. Something I've learned since I added drums to my instrument playing arsenal is that not all cymbals sound the same and can vary from genre to genre. There are cymbals more suited to jazz than rock, for example.
