Hey guys! I'm looking to upgrade the microphones we have at church. We have a six piece kit set up--one kick, one snare, four toms. We have two SM81s--one for the hats, one as an overhead mic--a Beta 52 for the kick, and I think five SM57s. Someone told me that SM57s aren't really good for toms. Is this true?
Anyway, they're pretty old and some are already breaking down. What mics do you suggest for the toms? And do we have to set up two overheads? I seem to see two overhead mics set up in live settings a lot. I'd really appreciate the help 'cause I'm next to clueless about microphones.
