Which Oktava for drum overheads

[mistervenable]

I've never had a problem with using mk-102s as overheads. They get the job done but they aren't anything to write home about.

Thanks for the reply. Actually just realized the MK-219 are already modded w Joly premium electronics.

Apparently I am dyslexic. MK-012s I meant.

After much reading and listening, I decided to go with Beyer MC930's instead. Thanks to all for their contribution!

The MK-012 is just about the indie musician / engineer go-to OH mic. My buddy Kramer doesn't do a session without his mod'd '012s.

For folks who like a beafier sound the large diaphragm / transformer-coupled MK-219 is great alternative. You can here the 219, 105 and '011 (very similar to the '012) as drum OH here.

Thanks. I will probably buy a used MK-219 and get your mod.
