Akg d40

[MCreel]

I picked up a couple of these for $75 each. About $25 off retail (depending on where you buy of course).

I'm wondering what people here think of them - if you've used em. I A/B'd it on the mid-tom against an old CAD NDM 10 drum mic that I haven't used in about 5 years. Seemed like the AKG had a better/more clear upper-mid to high resonance than the CAD, but it wasn't like the CAD sounded like a wood board. Both had good attack and produced a nice thump as opposed to an ugly thud.

So, my question is - is the AKG D40 worth it, even at $75, or am I better off just buying some more old CAD NDM 10's for $50 on eBay?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I don't know I'm kinda liken the sennheiser e604 on the drums -toms and floor- but new price is $250.ish for three of them, look for them used.

Those particular Cad mics I don't know, I do know, however, that the CAD TSM411 are very good mics, and they are on sale used at Daddy's Junky Music for like $32, unfortunately, this is without the clip, but those aren't expensive.
