Either the D112 or the Shure Beta 59? Or is it the 56? Opinions on this one?

I was wondering if any of those pre-made drum mic kits are any good? Is there one that's fairly cheap, but sounds good?

Hey guys,

hey guys how's the going?

i've been told the D112 is the standard for kick drums. i was also told the Audix D6 was better for recording than the D112. also was told that Beyer M88 'wears out ' pretty fast and i would have to replace the capsule a lot ( except for the older m88 ones.. ). then there's also that Electro-Voice mic...

I have an SM57, SM58, and an MXL condenser mic. What can I do with these as far as drums go to record rock and roll?

Just thinking about experimenting here, and I'm sure someone has done this before... I've seen live drum setups that use 2 pairs of LDC mics (Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater for example) but I don't know if they're as concerned with phase as we are around here...

I just got one nice and cheaply off eBay.. anybody used/heard it? I don't expect anything amazing but I just wanted a kick drum mic nice and cheap!

I know Yoga seem to make some of the OEM/copy Audio-Technica mics so I am hoping it won't be too bad.

I was wondering if anyone has used any of the studio projects
mics as drum overheads and what the results were. Just curious
about how they would sound. Thanks.

what would be good overhead mics for me? I am willing to put some cash in getting a decent pair that would stay with me till the day I die...

Hi Folks.

I’ve posted a question very similar to this one in the past but I'm looking for current opinions. We are looking at the Platinum Focusrite Octopre as a pre-amp for our Digital Performer 3.x setup. We are looking to use this mainly for recording drums into our MOTU 24i.
