Some of the popular budget type drum overhead mics that have been posted here are the Oktava MC-012, Marshall MXL 603S, and Studio Projects B1. There are others mics too, but these three mics seem to get posted the most, or a lot anyways. NOTE: “The following is my personal opinion”. Out of these three mics (012, B1, 603S) (for drum overheads) I like the Oktava MC-012’s better... because IMO, the Oktava MC-012 handles the cymbals better and sounds better on the drums too.

I got my oktavas from the states on ebay for €180 posted, you could possibly get them for less. In europe, thomann have them for €120 each.
www.thomann.de.
 
paddyponchero, thanks for telling me about them on thomann, i checked it out, but they have matched pairs, i.e 012 (multi) matched pair and 012-01 (non multi) matched pair, one in multidirectional, and the other aint, what ones you got?

thanks again.

I got two 012-01s - not a matched pair but they are closer than I expected and as good as I need. I'd like to get an omni capsule or capsules at sometime.

Two cardioids and two hypercardioids just sold on ebay for £45-£53 a bargain for this side of the pond
