[QUOTE="Rick Powell, post: 122830, member: 202"] Re: Overheads: small vs LARGE condenser The Shure VP88 is a noisy mic otherwise (say for a studio recording of acoustic guitar), but great for a "set it and forget it" stereo overhead pair if you are recording the set as well as live mixing. You can adjust the stereo spread, and "medium" works pretty well for a kit when tracking. I replaced mine with a set of Neumann KM184's which are great little SDC's but very fragile in the rough and tumble of live sound. I agree that, in the live mix, you'd just roll it off to capture the ping, but you'd also have a pretty good set of overheads in your hard drive if you are recording, as long as there is not excessive stage bleed from a cramped or unbalanced situation.
