Drum Mics

[drummz]

Hey guys I am looking into getting a drum shield for my church.
We use a 5 piece kit + hats, ride, 2 cymbals
Any ideas what types of drum mics would be good to use? And which drums we should mic up?

Thanks!

What is the budget you have allocated for the drum mics?

S$500-2000 for all the mics

The AKG Rhythm Pack is a good way to start off, though you might want to buy an SM57 (or an equivalent) for the snare as the three D40s included are best used on the toms. Also included in the pack are a D112 (for the kick) and two C430s for the overheads. Forget about miking the hat and ride.

Drum shield from Drumsresources.com (clearsonic) are about 800 SGD.
I recommend getting the Samson 7 Pc Kit (1 kick,3 toms,1 snare, 2 for cymbals) , roughly about 300 SGD.
And you also need mixing equipment! Which im sure your church has, right?
