Hypercariod Suggestions For Toms

[Blake Long]

I really like the way condensors sound on the top of toms but I've had trouble gating out blaring rides. Does anyone have suggestions for good hyper condensors?

I just love it when I spell things wrong!!!!

Check out the AKG 418's. I think that's the model #, and I think they're hypers. I would go research right now, but it's late and I'm tired! Just a suggestion, check them out. I used them on my last project, and was AMAZED! Check out my newest thread in the MP3 section to hear them....

The C1000 is good on toms, and it comes with a hyper cardiod attachment.

try the Audio Technica ATM25 or Pro25.

The AT Pro 25 and the Sennheiser E604 are both excellent mics for high toms. The Sennheiser MD421 or the AT Pro 25 are great for floor toms. Even the Shure SM57 can be used for high toms with pretty good results.

I have to second C-1000's on toms. On rack toms, they're my current fav. On floor tom I've been using a C-3000 too and loving it.

I'd get a couple of Octava mc012's with the hypercardiod capsules.
