Hi guys... i need some advice: i'm looking for a decent mic i can use as an overhead for the drums. I want these drums in mono, so it's an aesthetic choice for a specific purpose. I'm gonna mic the kick and snare too but i'm already happy with what i have....so about this overhead, and i can't spend too much could a single NT5 do the job, or do they only work well as a pair OH? What about a sm81? Or maybe a md421, are they versatile enough? Some other not-that-expensive microphone?
I should add that i'm into lo-fi and old school sounds, obviously i'm not expecting high fidelity, but something that sounds cool to my ears..cheap but not crap
