Hey guys, so I have been playing the djembe live and so far have used a sm57 and sm58. Both sounded somewhat "dull" if thats the right word. They don't pick up the crisp, warm, character of the drum. A friend of mine has recommended me to get either a shure SM81 or a shure beta 87a. This is live with an acoustic guitar and vocals playing with djembe. Two questions:
1. In that live setting, would an SM81 pick up too much of the noise?
2. Can I use a beta 87a somewhere on a drum set?
I have looked around and found many recommend the sm57...I am looking for something more crisp. Thanks guys.
