I'm looking for cheap (50-100 dollar range for each mic) overhead and bass drum mics to record my drum set. I already know what I'm going to be using for the snare (sm57 of course).
Thanks

I am a newbie, (sorry) who unfortunately has constraints on his time, so if this question has already been asked and answered somewhere in this mammoth forum, i do apologise. Otherwise - lets continue...

I am using Sonar 7PE, in Vista x64 with the EMU1616m Microdock as my DSP.

i am about to invest in some nice overheads, and am not sure weather to buy a matched pair of small condensers or 2 large diaphragm condensers, to use as overheads. I mostly record heavy rock/pop, and like my drums to sound huge. currently using D112 on the kick, sm57's on top and bottom of the snare, and on the toms. Does anyone have any advice on what type of overheads would suit me best?

Any suggestions for a matched pair for overhead mics?

I just want to get a few opinions I have a few things in mind I just don't want to make peoples thoughts on this bias.

Thanks much!

hola.
ok so i finally got everything i need (atleast the basics) to tackle the challenge of recording drums from my basement.- i have a lot of furniture, so the room doesn't sound too shabby for a baement.

Has anyone ever tried a pair of Neumann M147's as drum overheads? How were the results?

Thanks!

Firstly I'd like to mention that I am planning to use the microphones as overheads.
Ok I have narrowed down my choices to these, in order of price.

Hello there.
I'm looking to buy a pair of overhead mics.
My budget is 700ish at max for a pair, but I don't want the "best" for my budget, in the sense I don't want to spend a lot more for an improvement that isn't significant, but I am willing to spend that much if it's at least somewhat of a significant improvement.

hello everyone I'm new to the site and somewhat to recording dabbled a little bit here an there anyway just wanted to get some input on overhead drum Micing the thing is i dont have a matched stereo pair of condersers but i do have two there both medium budget mxl's a 603 and 2003 which is more a vocal mic

so I'm lookin at getting a matched pair of oktavas http://www.sound-room.com/inc/sdetail/489
