Everyone still using 57's and or 421's for toms? Just checking to see if
anyone is using something other than those for pop/rock and liking it...

Thanks again!

Hey Rich,
I've been using 421s forever and never wanted to subject my vocal
414s to the tom task. I did try the less expensive Studio Projects
C3 and was overjoyed with the results on that floor tom. I will
strongly consider two more for all three in the future. A C1 will
do just fine I think. Lots cheaper than 414s, U47s etc..

Drumagog sounds nice too.

Yes and yes - I also like those little Sennheiser 604 (?i think), and really
dig throwing a Sennheiser 609 on the bottom head (double-miking). I lots of
loud rock-type stuff. Someone has recently posted about a new mic company
(that is the ex-core of CAD mics) in Nashville that has a drum pack/kit for
under $200 that sounds nice. Can't remember the name, but maybe worth
checking out for the price.

I agree, I LOVE those things on toms (I just don't personally
own any, so the D4's - although very different - are my current
pick).

>Assuming there are no 251's available :)

But only if the drummer is using brushes, right? :D

I used the 421's and still have them, but started using these Audix D-2s
on the high toms of my Yamaha Recording Customs, and the Audix D-6 on the
low tom. There is no comparison on the high toms, the 421s hands down sound
better, I'm just too lazy to change them back. But I don't miss having the
mic drop out of the clips one bit or the duct tape! I have 2 fractured baskets
already. However the D6 holds it's own pretty good on the floor tom, still
again though not quite the clearity of the 421s. I have never used 57s on
the toms, just the snare but I rented one of my boards out to a concert last
year and the guy mic'd up everything with 57's. It was killer! I think it
was more his engineering ability shining there though... I have never heared
57s on all to include the Bass drum sound so good anywhere else.

I new producer moved into town recently. He's had me play on several projects
at his studio. He always uses 57's on all the toms and they sound real good.

I have run on the Audix D series stuff. Killer. Have Shures and it's not
quite enough to dump my mic collection over, but if I was buying new it'd be
all Audix on the kicks/toms.
