I hate to sound negative, but I wasn't impressed by any of those clips.

I use an EV ND/868 regularly at the studio. Love it.

I have a Beta 52 for my own rig, but I'm not much of a fan. If anyone wants to buy mine, PM me. I can make the 52 work, but personal preference will always lean towards the 868. I actually prefer the Beta 91 over the 52.

As long as you have a good drummer behind the kit, you should be able to get a decent sound from any mic with good placement. YMMV, IMO, all that stuff.
