Why do you want large diaphragm condensers for this? --scott
-----------------------

My goal is to slowly build up my mic collection a bit more so I have more
choices for experimentation in the studio... I do have a few pairs of good
small d condensers that i like a lot and work well... I often use the small
d condensers for overhead, good off axis response... but since i only have
one pair of large d condensers in my "collection" at this time, i figured it
might be a good idea to have another different pair as well just so I have a
choice... in a perfect world I could have access to every mic that exists to
try, but this is not possible... gotta start somewhere... right now the only
large d mic I have experience with is a TLM103 which I think is a wonderful
mic... what mics would you recommend from your experience for drum room for
pretty loud rock'n'roll drums?... open to all suggestions, small d or large
d condensers even though I am interested in getting more experience with
other large d mics... I have experimented with dynamic mics for drum room
and was never happy with the results... thank you
