Stand and deliver

Meet Ruben, sound technician extraordinaire, everybody wants him, everybody loves him….but what does he do exactly?
Well, besides balancing cymbals on his head, he has a phenomenal record collection and it’s worth turning up for sound-checks just to hear the latest sounds on his iPod.
But he’s a knob twiddler first and foremost, travelling the length and breadth of the country making sonic silk purses out of sows’ ears when all looked completely lost an hour or two previously.
So hats off (or Zildjians in this case) to Ruben, who has saved many a Novembro gig with his technical expertise and precision knob turning.
So my question is…..if Ruben’s going to act as a cymbal stand in the future, where’s the best place to put the microphone?
Rudest answer wins.
