Percussionist, and somewhat-of-a-drummer here. I’m looking for some quality, but not bank-breaking microphone recommendations.
I do play the kit, but I play the cajon and congas more often. I’ve got all the sound gear I need already, just lacking the mics.
I’d love to hear your recommendations! Thanks!
For what you’re doing I’d definitely suggest the SM57…you can beat the shit out of them and they still work. Depending on how cheap you want to go, MXL has some options but they’re cheap and condenser mics need a mixer that has phantom power, or a battery.
