Glyn Johns
Engineer for the Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin
His drum setup used just three or four mics: one over the snare, one beside the floor tom at the same distance, plus a kick. The "Glyn Johns method" gives a big, natural kit with almost no phase trouble.
Still heard: Still taught in every recording school.
