Right! OK I am seeking advice from all you gurus. I am a minimalist drum micing kind of dude and I am seeking to upgrade my overheads. I would like to be able to capture the whole kit as best I can with the overheads (using recorderman or Glyn Johns technique) then adding spot mics to the snare and the kick. My room is fairly small (treated). Budget is around 500 to 700 per mic I guess. Of course if I can get away with something cheaper thats cool too. These mics would only serve for one purpose too (overheads). Word?
Any helpers out there? Thanks a bunch.
Oh yeah I am currently using a pair of AT4040's. I do like them but I find them to be a tad harsh on the cymbals.
Also, for something completely different. On acoustic guitar the AT4040's blew me away. They sound awesome on guitar.
