It sounds like they are using the Panasonic capsule like the Behringer ECM 8000 but in a cardioid rather than omni configuration. The ECM 8000 is $35 in the US I don't know if they are available or what they woud cost in Sweden. The Behringer is a decent mic for the money but at more than twice the price as well as the difficulty involved in keeping the response of a cardioid decent I would be a little skeptical of the CM2. I fear from the description that the CM2 might sound like many of those small clip on drum condensers but you never know unless you can get a chance to listen to one.
If you can locate the Marshall (MXL) 603s they are a fantastic deal, they are a true condenser not electret and have a larger but still small diaphram. They cost about $79 US and sound quite good on drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and as a stereo pair for classical or choral music.
These guys seem to distribute MXL mics in England maybe they can be helpful to you if you are interested in the 603s.
