Do yourself a favor and go to a store and AB the 4033 and the 3035. IMHO I find the 4033 to be a more versatile mic. Also the bottom end just sounds better.

My 2c

Believe me. I would have no problems doing so but I live about 90 miles away from a decent music shop and I'm pretty busy with school. I have gone to this store and I did AB a 4033, 4050, and some Rodes. I was quite impressed with the 4033. The shop just didn't have the 3035's. Thanks for the opinion though. I'm not trying to skipm out on quality mics for a hundred or so bucks. I'll shortly get a 4050 or more likely a Royer after my primary overheads purchase.

I have done several live recordings of acoustic groups using both the AT 4033 and a Rode NT1 and NT2. The difference in the mics is dramatic in the mixdown and mastering phase. I don't know about using them for drum overheads, but the 4033 requires a lot more eq to make it sound natural than either of the Rode mics. The 4033 is not a true large diaphragm mic and sounds thin compared to the Rodes. I have to hype the eq on the 4033 whereas I can record the Rode mics flat.

A couple of large bluegrass sound companies out here have stopped using the 4033 completly and gone with Rode for the same reason.

I guess what I found most interesting about the AT3035's is that they have a 26mm diaphram and a 20-20k frequency response compared to the 4033's 30-20k.
