Coles 4038 are a industry standard ribbon mic.
A lot of people use them as room mics or overheads on rock drum sessions.
They are very dark, so you need to add high end eq, but the mic takes it very well.
I think they have a certain sound, which is possibly not as versatile as an Audio Technica. Not sure. Perhaps someone with more experience can talk about that.
Other ribbons often used on drums include Beyer, AEA and Royer. My favourite is the Coles though.
