I thought this was a little obvious, but no one has mentioned it yet...so AKG C1000s...totally essential mic if you're on a budget...you can have a pair of these for way, way under a grand and still have dough for some decent cables or whatever else you might need. I've used them on everything from hihat/ride to acoustic guitar (usually in conjunction with a large diaphragm condenser, although not always), even on electric guitar combos and vocals (great second mic for backup vox just to change up things)...amazing mics for the dollars. Also AT4020s and 4040s are killer for the bucks.

Cheers
