Due to budgetary constraints (well, I really shouldn't be buying any but...) my
drum miking will be limited to 1)kick 2)snare/hh and 3) 2 overheads. This brings me to my question. For overheads, should I go with large or small diaphragm
condensers? I'm looking at mics in $100 range, such as the Audio Technica AT2020, Studio Projects B1, or some used AKG33Rs (small).

Thanks,

JD
 
the small diaphragm condensers pick up alot of high end, but i'd go with the large diaphragm cuz you arent close-micing your toms. sometimes small diaphragm condersers are too bright for some people's tastes anyways
 
The only caveat being if your room sounds bad, the LDC will be more unforgiving.
