Hi guys,

Which mic would you recommend as a room mic for recording drums?

I have most of the mics I need for close miking, as well as overheads. What I’m looking for now is a nice room mic to give some warm atmosphere to complement and balance the close mics sound. This will be for a rock record.

I’m leaning toward ribbon mic for the room mic. Unfortunately I don’t have budget for the super high end ones. Was hoping to get something in the $500 or less used range. Se Vr1 would be one such example I guess.

Please let me know what you think, thanks!
