At the moment I'm using Audix f15 condenser mics as overheads to record drums with. They're causing the snare and cymbals (hats especially) to sound a little harsh. I was wondering what a smoother sounding and cheap'ish alternative pair would be?

Thanks in advance!
 
Try readjusting the microphones. -- It's all in the placement of the microphones. ;)
 
And also what does the recording space sound like, often the harshness is from the room sound.

try some apex 205 ribbons or cascade fatheads
Tames the cymbal top end very well

I've had good results with a pair of Rode M3s.
