Members Josh33 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hey drum folks! Sneaking over here from the guitar forums to get some insight from you all. I'm looking for a pair of decent over head mics for my recording set up. Right now im looking at a 4 mic Glyn Johns/Recorderman type set up for some basic demo and soundtrack work. I've only just started recording drums after a few years of recording only guitars for my demo work so my plan is to start out with a 4 mic set up and eventually upgrade and grow from there. right now i've got an sm57 on the snare and an akg d112 for the kick drum. Now i need 2 decent OH (side and above the snare) mics for the rest of set up. I've read countless suggestions but am kind of lost. Im recording mostly indie rock type drums and want something with a nice open sound. Clean and really huge sounding. (dont know if i could get anymore cliche with that). Looking at about a 300$ish New budget for each mic but don't mind spending a little more depending on quality. any suggestions? BTW im posting this in a few other forums, but thought i would get everyones take on the situation. thanks! Also crossposted in the recording section.

Members kmart Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 You will be hard pressed to do better than this in your budget. Don't let the low price fool you.http://www.audiopile.net/products/Mi...cutsheet.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh33 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow, those are really affordable. I've heard that a large condenser works better for the glyn johns application though. I might have to pick up that set just to play around with though. Thanks! anyone else out there on a cold sunday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members race81 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 If budgets an issue.....id purchase something that could be used other places besides overheads. SM 57's make a decent overhead for recording. They are very directional so Placement is everything. But at least when your done with em, you can use them other places for other things to recoup your expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
