Drums room mics - too much cymbal

hello.

I'm having an enormouse problem getting a drum sound at the moment. I generaly don't like to use too much close Micing but end up having to because I can't deal with the noise from the cymbals any other way. Lots of ride required. Room is smallish 15x12 and has quite a low ceiling.

I used to have foam on the ceiling but this got taken down when I re decorated.

Sebatron vmp-2000 or Great River 2NV? and mics

Forums

I'm searching for a high quality first mic preamp. I've gone back and forth after reading tons of articles/reviews on various pres and getting recommendations from other similar sites. I had things narrowed down to the 2NV, but out of nowhere, Sebtron popped into my life. It seems people love the thing. Any thoughts on better value?

Inexpensive LD condensers as tom mics...

Forums

I have a project coming up where we've decided we're going to focus getting more of a 70's drum sound - direct micing, very little room sound. The tom mics I currently have don't really fit the bill, so I'm wondering if I should invest in some of the cheaper LD condensers - Marshall/MXL, perhaps. I've heard of some people doing this, but I'm not really sure which models.
