Cheap drum overheads

[SourIce]

I plan on upgrading my audio interface soon so that I'll have the ability to do some basic drum recording. For the kick/snare I have 2 Audix I5's that I can use but assuming I'll only be using 4 mics I need the overheads.

I have that MXL 990/991 package, so my question is should I buy another package of that (So I get another SDC & LDC and can take my pick) or for less than $200 are their any decent matched pair mics I could get for the overheads?

I have had great results with these for overheads. I hang them from the ceiling. Audio-Technica Pro 45 Condenser Mic at zZounds

These were used on all of the tracks on my website. Download wav files for clearest sound. MP3 conversion on bandzoogle sucks.

Thanks man I'll check them out

For a SDC pair you can check out the Audix f15

For the LDC and SDC pair you can look into MXL 603s and MXL 2003 in Musicians Friend.

I love the MCA SP-1 for under 100 a pair

I use AKG Perception 170's, about $100 each, and love them. They also sound very good on acoustic guitar and sometimes banjo

For the price, Samson c02s aren't bad.

They aren't amazing either, but i've used them on overheads and acoustic guitar before with good results.
