+1 for the Avensons. I was always a big proponent of the cardioid-mics-on-cymbals approach to drum overheads, until I used a borrowed pair of these on a couple songs. Barely wound up using the close mics at all..... http://mbvmusic.com/mp3/gethimeathim_-_hearts_away.mp3 if anybody's interested. Drum...
