hi, i'm pretty new to this board and i need some help. i've recently bought a roland vs2480 and now i'm looking to do a demo for my band, the problem is that i'm not sure what mics to go for. for drum mics i'm thinkin sm57 on the snare and d112 on the kick (i'm lookin for a clicky sound, heard it's good) but i'm not sure about toms or overheads, and i definately do wanna mic the toms because i'm looking for a tight close mic'ed sound (we play metal) .we've been experimenting with bass and we've got a really cool sound just DIing it (it has a built in preamp) so thats not really a problem. for vocals (screaming and singing) i was thinking of a rode? don't know which, maybe nt1? my budget is about £1000 for drum mics but i would like to get the vocal mic with this money as well. i've been lookin on ebay but i'm not really sure what i'm looking for. also if there's any other gear you think would be useful please let me know ie, preamps, which i don't know much about. my budget is expandable if a little more money will make a big difference. any tips or advice would be hugely appreciated. thanx a lot.
great board by the way
