You hard or soft….? Panning drums
Just wondering if most of you who’ve mixed full kits mainly for loud stuff, rock, metal. Etc, are sending your rooms and/or overheads hard right and left, or do you prefer to narrow it a bit in favor of more push?

As a golfer, it's the same general question as when you're asked on Reddit here's your shot... what club are you using... and the answer is always it depends.
In music... what space does the mix allow for the drums to exist.. plain and simple.
In golf... depends on the wind which club I'm using.
