SAMSON drum mics?

Forums

I am using a seven piece samson drum mic set.
-2x o/head condensers
-1x snare
-3x toms
1x kick.

Does anyone else use these mics, or had any experience with them?

If so any inherent issues with them?

Any tips for thier use?

How do they go with other instrument recording? If OK what combinations?

Best mics for recording drums

I'm preparing to produce my first of many, more following, live recording sessions in the studio. This a transition I've been looking forward to and want to start off on the best foot possible.

Drum mics/Phase

Forums

So, couple of simple questions. What are the phase problems that people constantly talk about avoiding/fixing? Will I be affected by that with 2 overheads, a snare mic and a kick mic? I'll be reamping the snare after if I can. The sound that I'm trying to get is like that off of Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight Manifesto, or Keasby Nights by Catch 22.
