Hey. I'm getting ready to record my rock band and I was looking into what mics to buy as drum overheads. At a local indoor fleamarket, I saw two CountryMan mics that would be the first things to match my projected (and modest) budget. I'm not entirely sure they work, but they can be returned. The vendor says that they have no model number or other identification but they are certainly some order of condenser. I saw in another post someone mentioned the electrets, and I think it's likely that these are them. If anyone has ever used these or knows absolutely anything about them, I'd love to hear it. Also, I was looking into buying an M-Audio DMP3 two channel preamp to power these, possibly warm up the bass tone from my keyboard after it is recorded direct, and then warm up the signal when mixing. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the ability/desirability of the DMP3 to do these things. Thank you so much.
