Which is better for drums

Hi there!

I'll also post some samples and my opinions after I get my Quatafire 610 this week. For now I'm thinking of buying a Behringer B1 or B5, I want to get the best over head sound with my drums. So which would you buy, B1 or B5? Or maybe something else.

What is your budget, what style of drums are you cutting, is this just a one mic setup, etc... on and on and on....

me, I;d go with somethng else. AKG C-3000 is nice on overheads for the price, and so is the Shure KSM 32
 
Maybe something else.........I have great results with a pair of MXL 603, but as you may know what works for me could not work for you. I bought those 603 based on the comments that I read on this forum, I didn´t have a chance to try them, I just trust what the people said and what I´ve read here. It took me some time until I came up with a balanced sound of my drumkit.

Well it is a classic 5pc drum kit with cymbals. I don't have drum mics (for the bass, snare, toms, ..) so I'll have to start with overheads. I was thinking of two mics. One ECM8000 pointed to bass drum and the other B1 above the drums. I wanted also to know what kind of mic is better for drums. With large or maybe small diaphragm, omnidirectional, cardioid.
