Re: Mic dilemma: Hi-Hats & Overheads with C451B & SM81


It doesn't matter, you are clearly distracted from concentrating your efforts on the main focus, which should be the lead kick drum.


Seriously, I don't think it matters that much.  If it was me, I would probably use the 81's for OH, but just because I have found them to work pretty universally well on most things, and because they are well recognized in the live SR world.  Really either should be OK sonically.
