Re: What is your Favorite Preamp for Drum Overheads
Pre-amping what? The mic's have the most crutial influence on the sound.
Maybe consider alternate mic choices as well. Mic's make the biggest difference to me (just after the source itself) consider a sm57 and sm58...... about the same cost, both unidirectional cardoid mics.......very different sounding. Beyond that discussion, Tube mic pre's are very different than non-tube pre's...... that all depends on what you want to hear.

My answer would be in the form of a question: What type of preamp do you not already have (or not have enough of), and what type of mics do you typically like on drum overheads?

Re: What is your Favorite Preamp for Drum Overheads
You dont mention your budget... I am slightly limited and last year purchased a True System Precision 8 and have been very happy. It does not do a whole lot of coloration to your mic (which I like) so your mic will sound like your mic, which sends you right back to mic choice...I've used everything from Shure SM81's to Royer 122's and have been very happy with the results of each of those..Good luck and happy hunting....

Re: What is your Favorite Preamp for Drum Overheads
The Precision 8's are decent middle of the line mic pre. Very little color, nice sounding. HOT AS HADES! You can fry and egg on on those, so make sure you have enough space in your rack to leave 1U above the unit open.
Tubes on overheads are often nice. Like a Summit 200B. I'll either go that route, or big iron, like a Neve (or Great River). -Tom
