good will always be followed by 'for the price' with something like these. im not saying they are bad but do you really need all those mics
i take a different approach to drum micing on a budget, the drum kit is a single instrument so treat it as one and get most of your sound from the overheads. spend your money on a decent pair of OH mics and a kick drum mic and stick a 57 on the snare. cheep and effective drum sound.
