One mike per player is nothing! How many mikes do your see installed
on a typical drum set? This polymicrohone technique suffres from
bleeding (of the singnal to other mikes), phrase problems, the
playing of each instrument in its own (often artificial) acoustic
space, and the inablity to employ true (time-based) stereo, a
result that is completely and the sound engineer's disposal.
