What options are there for low profile tom mics?

TehGuitarist · 10th November 2009, 11:07 AM

Just wondering what are the options for low profile (preferably side address) options there are for tom micing. Lately i've had a couple of drummers who have come in with stupid big drum kits and i've had to compromise sound quality because they can't play their parts with the cymbals moved (personally i think they are WAAAAYYYY too busy as it is!) so what options do i have? I'm using e604s at the moment.

Steve Albini likes his Josephson 22's
Josephson Engineering Microphones

Warren Dent likes his CAD 179 if I'm not mistaken.

You can always try the new e605 "Threat Of Death" series, I hear they really kick a*s if they're struck with a stick!

Beware of the AKG C 418 - they are small but it's only a question of time until they die either from a hit or bad cables. We had 5 in the live rack, only two remain.
