Mic Packs

[RideTheCrash]

Right now I'm looking at buying a drum mic package eventually. I currently use a Shure PG48 and 2 cheap RadioShack mics. What do you guys think of buying packages? Should I bother? They are like $500+ here in Canada for 4 mics, which I need.

Considering your mic setup now, a mic pack would be a definate step up. Try a shure mic pack, some of those mics have many uses besides drums. (like the SM57) Have fun!

Personally, the Sennheiser pack with 3 604's, 1 602 is the best deal going. And its not made by Shure... what better reason?
Then, get yourself two mxl 603's for OH's and you are good to go. Maybe pick up something for snare.

I'll see what I find. I think I saw some sort of Shure ___ package, can't remember which series, but not 57 or 8.

$500 in Canada is about $316.54 US......

with that Id go with the 603's tubedude suggested, a AT ATMPRO25 for kick, and a sm57 for snare.......

you could probably use the PG48 you have already on toms if you like to mic the toms.....

Well I only have 4 mic inputs to use. So I want to do 2 overheads, snare and kick. I'd be nice to do the toms if I could though.
