Last of the mic purchases, I hope. I've got a good bass drum mic for the drummer, and I've considered both the NT2 and Oktava 012 for the drums. I'm thinking of getting two NT2's for overheads (and they'll double for vocals/acoustic guitars) and two Octava MC012's for the high-hat and snare (I should be also able to use these for Electric amps)
Would you guys do this? I've already got a bass drum mic picked out, and 5 mics is about what I'm looking at being able to fit on my 8 track, so that's the plan. I won't be doing a lot of live tracking with the drummer, so I can swap mics. I can also rely on the good old SM57, but I really liked the quality I got one time from micing with the 012, and I'd pay extra for that little bit, esp. on things like the high-hat.
