I have about $2000.00 U.S. to spend on mics just for Drums and would like to know what I should be looking at. It's very hard to make purchasing descisions where I live because none of the shops carry enough stuff to choose between ( actually listen to ). In Australia, everybody keeps trying to ram RODE mics down your throat but I want better value and sound. I would like to know what you guys use and why?
Overheads.
Hats.
Kick
Toms.
Snare.
Floor tom.
Other percussion.

Drum sounds really depend on the room. For a straigt-ahead answer I would say get an SM57 for the snare, 2-3 Sennheisser 421s for toms, an EV RE20, another 421 OR AKG D112 for bass drum and AKG 451s for overheads. I also actually really lick my AT4041s for overheads. If you want some real balls out of your drums, get a Coles 4038 for an overhead. I use that, a 57 for the snare and a 421 for the kick and I get everything I need. Mono though. Good luck,
