I am a guitar player but i want a good microphone for my band(around 100å).I'm thinking of a shure sm-58.Is it a good choice?
Also please tell me the cheapest solution for an average drums recording(i said the cheapest)

Thanks,
(sorry about my english as i am 15 and from Greece)

try and get an sm-57, they are industry standard for guitar amp micing, it will give u a nice tone, depending on what sort of music you are playing, you might wanna concider a second mic, maybe something with a larger diaphram, to pick up more of your low ends too. but then if your just using a clean tone, the 57 should be fine on its own.

My young friend, I'd stick with SM-57's all around. Put a foam pop filter on a 57 and it's a killer vocal mic. Sounds great in front of a guitar amp and for snare and toms, it's one of the first mics a lot of folks reach for. And when you aquire more mics down the road (once you start it'll NEVER stop) you won't outgrow the 57s.

could i please have a suggestion for the vocals(male)

Get an SM57. Indestructible, versatile, inexpensive.
By the way, where in Greece are you? Athens? Thesoloniki?

Our singer uses a sm58, sounds great... with his voice? It treats his mid range voice nice, bings out some character and almost adds some fullness...with his voice.?

I guess it depends , buy, try, return.

We are going to get a sm57, maybe even for vocals, We will use for snare, guitar and I may try as stated above a sm 58 on the cab also, it sounds good in theory. so thanks.
