Need a set of drum mics

[Bloke From Barnet]

There is an SOS review on them here http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov0...les/rodem3.htm
Rode versions of C1000s by the looks of it. They still seem to think that the C1000s are better, but its just a review. Always better to make your own mind up with your own ears I always thought (that could get ugly tho eh!).

I used to have an EV vocal mic, it was quite expensive I seem to remember. I bought it off a mate back in the early 90s (it turned out that despite the long blonde superstar hair, singing was most definitely not for him ), and quite by accident, I found it was just brilliant inside the kick drum. Alas I lost it at a gig one night, can't even remember what model it was.

I wonder if any of you guys ever just used whatever mics you could get your hands on & found that one did an unexpectedly good job?

Wow. You would have had to try really hard to put me off this mic more than you just did acidentally!

EV RE20 is great on kick!

To be fair tho, I read a review that panned the AKG solidtube. I Bloody loved that mic! I just put my grandma on ebay to hopefully get a few quid towards another one..

Gotta be better than it is on Terry Wogan!
The one I had tho was a black stage mic, looked a little like a N/D967 but with a longer cap. I wish I knew which one it was.
