Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking into the Audix i5 a bit... it sounds like a nice mic. Do you usually mic snare on top and bottom? That's how I recorded it last time, and I was happy with the results. Do you use the i5 on both top and bottom?
I do use large condensers on the toms a lot.
I'm using an i5 on top and a e609 on the bottom.
Just to be different, I like the crisper quality that a small diaphragm condenser gives on snare. My favourite is an AKG 451 EB with a swivel so the mic body can be out of the way with just the head pointing at the top of the snare. However, in their wisdom AKG have decided not to sell these anymore. My go to alternative is the sE1A.
I'll probably put an SM57 on the bottom of the snare but, like I think it was Greg_L who said, I rarely use that track.
