if you havent seen my past posts, im looking for an ok-quality 4 mic drum setup for my 5 piece set (with ride, 2crashes, hihats, and a splash), and hopefully a setup where the mics could double as guitar and vocal mics.
4 q's:
1)up untill now ive been thinking of buying 2 sm57's and possibly using an RS mic on the bass as a trigger, or using sm57 bass and snare, RS overheads.
i just saw the fox package from a recent post and was wondering how i could use it. from it i'd get much better vocals, better overheads, a little bit worse of a snare mic, then i'd use an RS trigger on bass. would this trade-off be worth it?
2) would the fox mics work well with guitar/vocals?
3) how would the RS bass trigger and 2 sm57's as overheads sound?
and
4) how do you make sure that the overheads dont only pick up the cymbals? if im using them for toms as well, would i boost the lows and lower the mid and highs on the mixer?
thanks -Nate

off the 2 mxl 1000's that you get, then they're supposedly supposed to sound just like the 603s, which sound great. Those could be used as overheads for drums, acoustic guitar, and maybe vocals w/ a good pop screen...It's a good deal, so I'd definately get it and just screw around with placement, etc. If you can afford it, I'd still pick up a 57 also. Hope this helps a little.
