I have an ATM23he that I really like on the top of the snare, but it doesn't work underneath. I did give an Oktava Mk012 a try on top a few weeks ago - interesting sound; good attack, but not enough body.

Generally, I use the ATM23 on top and a 57 on the bottom; condensers on the bottom tend to be too bright on an already bright source, so the 57 seems to work nicely still for my needs.

I also gave an AT4033 a go on top, just for grins, and was pleasantly surprised by the results!

Cheers,

Don
