Butch vig has a number of recording technique’s he likes to use, when he was recording nirvana’s never mind he want Kurt Cobain to double track his vocals also he talked about how he likes to record drums in a recent interview I read, when he was asked about his preferred  mic set-up when tracking drums he said "It's different from band to band. I usually like a dynamic mic on a kick for a close mic but I like the fat 7s for the thumpier, woollier sound. Sometimes I'll use a 57 on a snare, sometimes I'll use a condenser, an AKG41, I might use a ribbon mic on a snare especially if there's a lot of hi hat bleed. "I have a tendency to like condenser mics on drummers that don't hit the cymbals real loud, and if they do hit them loud I like to use ribbon mics because they're softer in the top end. "Sometimes I'll record with stereo ambient mics, sometimes I'll just put up one and try to compress it out of a preamp really hard or run it through an effects pedal to give it a vibe. I'll run the drums to some sort of stereo compression and then really hammer it.The advice he gives to potential drummers tells them that the secret to getting a good drum sound starts with the drummer themselves. A really good drummer can make a bad drum kit sound good but the opposite is a lot harder to achieve. To practice being a dynamic player, Butch tells us to record practice sessions with just the drums using as few mics as possible and to use the overheads so the drummer can hear the dynamics of the crash/cymbal when playing the sound back so that the understanding of dynamics can be improved.
