Drum mic kit recommendations?

[xTomx]

So I'm finally gonna man up and start recording real drums for hardcore and metal, what drum kit kits would you guys recommend?

At the moment I'm looking at a couple different packages from Audix, AKG and Samson

Audix - http://www.dv247.com/microphones/audix-fusion-7-drum-mic-package--66539

AKG - http://www.dv247.com/microphones/akg-rhythm-pack-drum-microphone-pack--62138

Samson - http://www.dv247.com/microphones/samson-8kit-8-piece-drum-mic-set--36331

Would really appreciate some advice if you guys get a chance!

Get used mics. Audix D6, Shure SM57s, a pair of decent SDCs for overheads. You'll be much better off in the long run, because even if you spend a bit more, if you ever need to sell the mics you'll get a LOT more back.

Yeah used mics. Tons of 57s, D6, even cheap Studio Projects C4s are pretty good sounding overheads. You can never have too many 57s and can sell them for exactly what you paid anyways. They sound great on toms!

Go used. 57's I5's etc will last you forever.

check out es57's by GLS there sm57 clones and there damn good get like 5 of them!
and then check out the CAD m179's get two of those for overheads.
and then get a nady dm-90 for kick drum.

about $512
and imho better then any budget drum mic package.
