SAMSON drum mics?

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?

Guzzy :-?

I need assistance with my C-com Samson Compressor.

Engineers told me there was a way to avoiding clipping, no matter how loud I speak on the microphone. But the case was not true. I purchased this compressor, and even when I talk loud, it goes past the 0db, how can I make it function correctly?

I'm running Nuendo.

Here is a picture of exactly what my compressor looks like.

Drum mics: CAD or Samson

I need to buy a set of drum mics and my budget is not even enough to buy one REAL mic. My kit is pretty big (2 snare, 4 tom, 1 BD, and 7 cymbals) and I want the sound of close Micing the toms so that rules out the 2 overheads and a bass mic method. Its between the CAD pro-7 pack and the Samson 7 or 8 kit. They both have good reviews considering thier price. Does anyone have any insight?
