SM57s and MD421s on OH? I wouldn't even use R121s for that.

If you are on a small budget and want a real "wow," try the chameleon TS1s.

If you have money, get some good LDCs. After using some nice condensers for OH, you'll realize that this isn't all that "wow."

There's a reason why when really good engineers record drums, they don't use SM57s other than snare and the occasional hat. Oh, and they almost never use soft limit. At least nobody I know does anymore. That's so 1995.
