I´m searching for two overhead-mics for drums in our big band.

These AT-mics seems to be a good deal, especially in Europe (about 380.- € each)

My questions to the group:

1. Can I get any better mics at 380.- $/€

I don't think so. That's a good bit less than they sell for in the US.

2. I want use these mics also for stereo recordings. Should I buy 4051 or 4053?

Depends on the room that you are working in. The 4053 is cleaner off-axis,
though, and would tend to be my first choice, but you will have to pull back
more. Not so good in a wide and shallow room, usually much better in a
narrow and deep room.
