I used pg series for about a year, and was happy when finally got rid of them. To me they are kinda flabby sounding. It was really hard to get decent sound out of them. They are usable as live mics but for recording....didn't like them. Now i'm using sm57's on rack toms and sm7 on floor tom and i think, 57's definately are affordable. Before i got sm7, i used 57 on floor tom and was happy with results. I'd say - go for 57's and don't forget, You can use them on a lot of other sources too.
