hi there,
im just starting to build up my mic collection for micing drums. santas going to get me a D-6 for x-mas and some other mics except the overheads, cymbals are also on my list. i would like to get some nice condensers, but good ones are out of my budget just right now. and i dont have any room for mics needing phantom power on this small mixer of mine. can anybody suggest an overhead option that is dynamic mics. im thinking, can i get away with two sm57s as overheads for a bit? cause it would be better to invest in some good mics that ill keep then shitty mics i will soon be replacing with some real condensors(like some oktavas) anyways. i would really like to have some 57s. i really just need 2 mics for 2 cymbals. i would just buy without asking, but i just want to be sure. thanks in advance
