I just picked one of those up, and I'm amazed at how easy it is to get a really think kick sound out of it, even with my mediocre preamps. > Overheads, Sure SM81 which are OK if I ran a bigger > budget I'd replace them. I've been playing around recently with a pair of MXL 990's I bought. Mostly I bought them because I needed a new pair of condensers for overheads, but the $69 price tag was a factor as well. I must say I'm surprised at how good their performance is. Granted, I wouldn't take them over a nicer matched stereo pair, but if you're looking at price, I think it'd be hard to beat these. > Toms, EV N/D 408 or something like that, they're the > eggish shaped things on the swivel mounts. I actually > like them alot. Promise not to laugh before reading further... They're discontinued now, but Radio Shack Pro Instrument 3032 mics are very useable on toms. Many, many drummers swear by them. Again, a lot of this comes from the price tag - they run about $15 each. But sheesh - who can pass up a useable mic for $15 a pop?? They're fun to mess around with, and they come with nice clips for drum attachment. If you're into the money spending things, lots of drummers tend to like the Sennheiser Evolution tom mics for their tone - I think they're model e604. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Pope has a Water Cannon.
