Sometimes I've thought about buying a Zoom H4n (or another similar) just
for the same goal: recording stereo overheads along with 1 mic for snare
and 1 for kick (3 mics technique). Now I know it works, and quite well as I
can see. BTW, very useful that tip of using room emulation with close
overheads.

Thanks for the extended info.
