I have a little experience doing FOH in all types of situations and this guy
is just asking for trouble...recording techniques for micing usually don't
translate well live and especially outdoors.
A 57 on a kik is not as bad as it sounds but would be way down my list of
mic choices for a primary kik mic...secondary mike choice for sure (to get
that all elusive "tic") but not for primary
As for quasi OH mic's I wouldn't even consider them.
I'm thinking he's an alimni of the Jack Ortman School of Recording

I play in a guitar jazz trio. Standards, plus the Dan, some Santana. The
band leader has hired a guy to do our PA and lights at 2 more outdoor
shows. I play a Catalina bop size 4 piece w/ dark cymbals all round. Am I
wrong or is this the wrong way to mic me:
sm 57 ON THE KICK (!), another sm 57 at least 16" away and looking over
the hat, over the snare, at the rack tom, 3 rd sm 57 on the right side
this time, again at least 16" away looking at me, basically at chest
height, looking across the floor tom and under my ride. That's it.
Is this acceptable in any situation? This sounds like I'm being arrogant
but I think a real kick mic and a decent o/h would be the minimum I could
expect huh?
Barring that, I'm thinking I should at least put the 57 in close between
the hat and sn and the other side 57 ON the ride?
