[QUOTE="swiftiey, post: 260012"]
Hello there.
I'm looking to buy a pair of overhead mics.
My budget is 700ish at max for a pair, but I don't want the "best" for my budget, in the sense I don't want to spend alot more for an improvement that isn't significant, but I am willing to spend that much if it's at least somewhat of a significant improvement.
I want something that will last, something I probably won't upgrade unless I was able to spend alot more.
Some comments on the characteristics (if any) of the mics would be of help as well :) 
If possible, I'd like something that would work really well with acoustic instruments as well. But still, the prime concern is their quality as overhead mics.

My other question is regarding bass drum mics.
I'm looking at two. AKG D112 and Shure SM Beta52a since I heard lots of good things about both and they aren't too pricy.
What are the key differences between them?

Two other things. 
1.How much should I expect to spend on cases for drum mics, and do I really need proper cases to take care of them or is there a DIY way of bringing them around while providing sufficient protection? 
2.How much should I expect to spend on stands and do I need to purchase anything else? (screens,etc)

Thanks in advance :)
