It all depends on what you have and where you feel like using it.
No drummer I have known so far had the capability of handling the pressure of having that much money on the tip of their sticks. They immediately get an inescapable urge to hit them right on the grill or something. And they don't even wait for the main take to do that.

I just fvckin' stick a stock dynamic on and move on. I'd need to see their credit check report and advance swipe slip first before putting on a mic of such calibre (provided that I have the fvckers at my disposal in the first place).
