EMAD? those rock. Love 'em. Will not use anything else anymore after
hearing what they do. Get the front and back heads, it matters. Keep your
mic hole in the front fairly small, just enough to breath if it doesn't come
pre cut. You'll get more bottom end the further out you get from the batter
head. Don't put the mic in the center, it'll phase out and sound bad.

Beta 52 or Audix D6 is the ticket here... the 52 is more hyped and
requires less EQ to cut through and be big.
