Default Re: Purpose of overheads?

Quote:
The overheads capture the entire sound fo the iunstrument, and, in combination with room mics, combine ot recreate the sound fo the kit in the room as it is being played.

You cannot recreate this with samples.
Actually, you can recreate that cohesion with samples.

Sample sets like Drumkit From Hell and many others include overhead and/or room mic samples that were recorded at the same time as the close-mic'd sample. Since they're separate samples, you can mix in as much overhead and/or room as you want (or you can have it be just overhead/room if you want).

Quite convincing actually.
