sennheiser e914 or Shure ksm 137

[FirecatBbmr]

Hello every one I am Brian and I am new to this site, I need some help with a very important decision.... I am planning to buy some new overhead drum mics for my studio... I want to choose between sennheiser e914 or the Shure ksm 137... I know the are both very good mics... I just can't make up my mind I would be grateful for any opinions and or comments thank you....

All I can tell you, is that in a fairly extensive blind small diaphragm mic shootout for Tapeop, which you can read about elsewhere on this forum, the Sennheiser was in my top 3. The source, in this case, was acoustic guitar, which is a whole different animal from drum overheads. Nonetheless, I'd say they are pretty damn good mics.-Richie
