New Snare Mics
These are all great suggestions.
My sleeper suggestion is the CAD TSM411, the small dynamic mic that comes with the drum mic packs. Cheap mic, sounds great. Crisper and tighter sounding than a 57, since I got these mics my 57s haven't gotten much use on snares.
The kick mic that comes in these drum packs is just so-so at best, but the TSM411 just slams.
Works great on guitar cabinets too....

i've been micing the shell almost always for years now. to me it sounds a lot more like a snare than the top mic does. usually an AT4040 as close as i can get it...sometimes a ksm141 either in cardioid or omni....occasionally the m160 back 4-6" or so.TV Lenny wrote:How often and under what circumstances does anyone find themselves micing the shell? (as demonstrated at TapeOpCon) What mic have you used?
sm81 owns the sm57 for snare.
I love sm81 on snare, but I rarely mic anything but overheads closely with 219s and the kick with the sm81.

I dunno, so many things can work.... an sm7, an i5, a 160, a 4047, a 414... anything but a bright sdc in my opinion. I'd avoid a km184 or an nt3 or an ma100, but that's just my taste.
