Thread Starter | Room Mics; what are some cheap but good sounding mics?
Im looking for a pair of room mics to buy for recording drums that wont cost a ridiculous fortune. I obviously want quality so are there any recommendations? Examples of drum recording styles are: the Advantage, Explosions in the Sky, Dianogah, and Trans Am. Thanks |

A pair of MXL V67g mics do this well - for low end and really cheap they're hard to beat....

What are you looking to spend? the Avensons are $550, which isn't bad at all

I've had good luck with just your standard SM57. I like keeping them low to the floor, maybe a foot off at the most. Sounded good to me anyway.

A matched pair of Cascade Fat Head II's, especially with the Lundahl upgrade. Great stuff. Frank

CAD M179. Big drum room sound, you can dial in any pattern you like also. Beef. It's what's for dinner. War
