These mics pick up tons of great kick and snare stuff. I use them in cardioid and if you experiment with the placement you can keep a lot of the cymbals out..of course as always you need a drummer who doesnt overdo the hats etc. Compressing them can be pretty fun too, how much of course depends on the track..I used a tg1 on limit with the input full on the other day and that was pretty exciting.
