Headset Mic

[CellarCat]

I'm looking for a cheap but reasonably good sounding mic for the drummer in my band to use for doing the odd bit of background vocals when we play live ... any thoughts???
he doesn't want a cordless one as we are trying to keep the cost down..

A drummer from a band I had used one of those types of mics.
He hated it after awhile. The cord was always getting in the way and the sound quality sucked, despite the $130.00 price tag.
The sound quality for any type of headset mic doesn't get decent until you get in the $200.00 and up range.... (so I am told).
Unless he's got the $$ to spend, he's better off with a SM57 and a boom.

I agree with Buck62 also on the drums they will drive you crazy if you dont gate them or or have some one at the board ...they are terrible with ambiant sound.
