I'm late to this party, but I'll throw in my $.02 since I'm a guitar/amp whore.

Gertok, I'm not knocking your decision because it's your money, your studio, etc. BUT $200 isn't really going to get you anything (IMO) satisfying. If you can hold out, then I would suggest saving up a few more coins and at least try to get in that $350 - $400 range.

For that much and a little ground beating, you can get some really nice tube amps in the 15/30 + watt area. Any of the Peavey Classics, certainly the Fender Blues Jr...hell, for $400 I picked up an old 'Rivera-era' Fender Concert 2x10 combo, 60 watts, pristine 6L6 cleans at any volume. This stuff is out there, just look around and be patient. The Palomino that you mentioned is ok, I used to have the Crate V30 (same thing basically) and it had it's good points.
If you need to cover more metal than anything else, then look around for an older Marshall or an old Carvin.

In the grand scheme of things, doubling your money in this scenario will get you more than 2x the results. Not so much in the case of say a $1000 mic.

Best of luck to you.

And Bob, re your question on the 1st page about speaker choices, you may want to consider EV. They excel quite nicely at cleans, country stuff, etc.

That is what i will do. I will get that drum kit of craigslist. It will need a tom a stand another cymbal eventually. And bass stick is not a bass pedal than i will need it too. So I will borrow my friends mg30cd or crate amp for those who cannot invest in their equipment. I figure people that don't have a decent combo amp or a drum set don't really care what they are going to be given at home recording studio.

Hmmm since bent want some stock how about mic closet suggestion? what to sell and what to keep?

sm57, sm58, EV ND868 -those a keepers at least till I have money for RE-20.

MXL 992, 993 ... I really don't think I will be able to sell them. There are none on ebay and I've seen this set go for $100. I honestly think they are not as bad as most of people think.

Audix Fusion 6 pack. ahmm lets do math. If I sell them for 200-250... I might be able to get 2 more sm57, and probably 1 OH.. That does not sound too bad. Save another $100-150 and enjoy nicer pack. The whole set sounds kinda dull.. not bright at all. Mxl 993 OH sounds way better than f15.

My ultimate mic closet:
4 SM57
1 RE20
2 OH at3031 or rode nt5 - suggest something else
1 Bluebird or at 4040 - help to choose

Overall thoughts ideas suggestions?

All good points above, but I just want to point out that you bought a Base Drumstick, IIRC!

All your base drumsticks are belong to us!

(One of us had to say it.)

What happen? What happen?
Somebody set us up the drumkit.
Take off every SM57.
Channel get signal.
What?
Main speakers turn on.
How are you gentlemen!
All your drumsticks are belong to us!
You have no chance to compress, change your sound.
Ha ha ha.
Move SM57, move SM57, for great snare sound move every SM57.

Why do I bother...

Off topic background for those going "Huh?"

"All your base are belong to us"

Is a poor translation of a cut scene in an old video game. It became a bit of an internet joke, when somebody made a humorous flash animation of it.

Here it is

No, it can't be that. It's something else. Something about the base and the stick, but the guy is from Utah.
