So i just ordered an interface ( Tascam US1641) and now i need to start looking at some mics to record drums. I think i'm going to go with Snare, Bass, and 2 overheads, that seems to be the typical choice amongst most people's Home Studio's. I never really thought this through but i have a feeling i'm going to be spending a lot of money on accessories, bass mic boom stand, overhead boomstand, clips/mounts, XLR cables, etc. *sigh*.
My question is, Will my Audio-technica AT4040 condensor mic work as an overhead?
If so, i will only need to purchase 3 mics, i don't want to spend more than $200 on everything so what do you guys think would be 3 good mics to purchase? There's a couple Shure SM57's on craigslist for $60, but that doesn't include a cable or clip/mount, i hear they are good for Snare drums, so there would be no point in getting 2 of them right? just 1?
well anyways, i digress, anyone have any suggestions for some affordable (good sounding) bass/snare/overhead mic?
thanks!
