AKG C 1000, maybe good for close-micing a ride cymbal but definitely not for over-heads, for some reason I didn't dig them.

Anything Behringer or Presonus... even though I still use Behringer and Presonus in my rig, I can't hack it... they make me want to punch a baby.

Alesis Monitor 1s, my old boss who owns Studio 11 in Winnipeg swears by these things, I thought they sounded just as poor as the average stereo speaker...
These are hardly considered 'high-end'....
