Sly Stone's Classic "There's a Riot Goin' On" Drums: 2 Mics for Under $400? | What's That Sound EP31

With "There's a Riot Goin' On", Sly Stone pioneered a lo-fi, funky sound that still influences music production to this day. In this episode, Noam & Jessica threw out all the fancy microphones (except not really) and returned to the basics; just using a Shure SM57 and an Electro-Voice RE20. How close did they get?
