* Well - im recording drums using SP C4, and these are very fine mics.

a (checked earlier) C4 or 012. I would go with the C4. Used on the

electric, bass and vocals - nice effects.

keep on rockin'


I agree 100%.

My C4's get used all the time (I don't know how inconsistent they are in
comparison to other C4's, but my pair seem nicely matched.)

They arent scratchy or edgy, the sound is full and detailed, and I use them
on acoustic instruments, overheads, and have even recorded vocals with them.

I love them on Drums as overheads. (The DW kit here sounds awesome with just
2 C4s' and a kick mic -usually my Audix D6.)

I reckon they are pretty darn good value, and a good place to start.

Good luck!!!

Then there's Rode Nt4 or a pair of NT5.
