Mic Setup for Drums

[NegadivOne]

Right meow i'm using a couple of cheap AT P650R's for overheads, sm57's for snare and toms, and cheat AT kitpak mic for my bass drum. I really need a new kick mic and I'm seriously considering the shure beta52. I actually think my overheads, but I think its only because I've never heard better overheads in person. I play metal and i like a nice deep sounding kick with a bit of a high end click to it. Would the beta52 be good?

lol no i just watched supertroopers a little bit ago...but seriously, i heard that people were switching from the D112 to the beta52 cuz the 52 is better?
