I was thinking about picking up a couple of AT4040's for drum overheads. I really like AT mics for the most part, have an at4033, and a pair of 3035's which I like... but they really don't work too well with cymbals and are kind of "grainy" I guess.

I like the 4033, but I'm wondering if the sound is "too upfront" for ov's...
Will I have better luck with the 4040's or, should I look elsewhere? I haven't heard the 4040's or 4050's to my knowledge.

I really don't have that much money to spend but would like to upgrade my overheards in the next week or so.

Any replies are appreciated.
