I like D112, as it sounds a bit flatter. The B52 always sounds too scooped for me...

-64 Ludwig Black Oyster Classic kit 22,13,16
-65 Leedy BDP 22,13,16
-65 Ludwig WMP Clubdate 20,12,14
-66 Ludwig Red sparkle Downbeat
-60's Gretsch RB Green Glass 22,13,16
Lots of cymbals, snares and orphans, old and newish

If you want your drum to sound 60s, no mike at all. First time I saw a mike on a BD was 68.
