if anyone could offer some advice i would be most appreciative.
here's the situation. my partner in recording, and i have an upcoming project (his band). i have a beta 52 for the bass drum, and a bunch on sennheiser e604's for the toms. i am not a pro engineer and these tend to be the weakest links of the recordings. it could very well be the drums and my lack of experience but mic's do play a role in the sound as well so...
he is thinking of buying a mic package for around $500.00 that comes with a d112 and 4 akg c418's.
the beta 52 vs. d112 seems to be a chevy/ford type dispute. i have not really heard anything about the c418's though. or how they compare to the e604's. or if there are any other alternatives for at least micing the toms within the same price range that may work better.
thank you in advance for any advice.
