The drums panned hard to one side makes me think of Rudy Van Gelder and all the jazz records he did for Blue Note, Riverside, etc. in the early days of stereo.
Great videos. One thing to say about old recordings and hard panning the drums is the clarity that’s achieved. Only one speaker will be using up a large portion of the frequency spectrum. This allows the other speaker to reproduce the other instruments unaffected by the speaker movements and dynamics of the drum speaker. The paper cone of a speaker can only be so sensitive. The more resonant movement of the paper driver, the less ability to reproduce articulate air movement, which is of course what sound is. Unfortunately society has mostly moved away from listening to music through speaker systems and has chosen a personal listening experience. Listening through earbuds and headphones, hard panning doesn’t seem as natural. However it’s very separated so you can have a great selective listening experience if you enjoy soloing out performances.
Larry's right: the toms are panned pretty wide on The Wall. But Nick Mason isn't a toms-heavy drummer - he uses them mostly for occasional accents and fills, so the listening experience isn't like being inside a popcorn popper.

8:00 I use a crotch mic either for fx (add a reverb or delay, wildly creative) or I’ll smash it with an 1176 all buttons in and season to taste.
