Hello,


Which would you rather use (for recording drums) as overhead mics:


1. a pair of Shure 57's
2. a pair of flat-response but cheap measurement mics such as Behringer
8000's
3. a pair of cheap overhead mics such as Samson or Behringer.


I have a pair of 57's already, just pondering if it'll give me any
significant improvement to get something else, given that I'm NOT going to
spend a lot if any money.


Cheers,


Dee


Pick up a pair of Behringer C-2 and consider them as a starter kit.

While I normally use other types of small condenser both as OH and for
recording I do own a pair and find them satisfactory in these applications
and others.

OK, thanks...I think I'll do just that!

Cheers,

Dee
