JM27 or AKG C 430

[williamhesser]

im finishing off my home studio and i need good all around overheads to pick up cymbals, and at times, cymbals and toms. I have been looking at the Joe Meek JM27($100) and the AKG C 430($170), could some one please tell me which one would be better for me?
thank you

The oktavas are great, but at $100 for a pair of JM27 I'd give them a go, you can always offload them on ebay at that price, where did you find them for $100?

Lets see... the JM27 or MC-012 for drum overheads... that's easy... hands down, get the Oktava MC-012's.
