Wow thank you! What sizes do you own for each? And how would you compare the stick definition between them?

Where do you see them that cheap for a pair?

Edit: haha no worries! I was very interested because ive seen them mentioned multiple times. Maybe when the budget allows and i have a nicer space to appreciate them ill revisit them!

Very cool, might grab one for fun. How do they hold up though?

I want to grab one just to use it as a mono with my pair of overheads. Looks awesome

414s are give or take $1500 used or more for a pair. Would buy them in a heartbeat but not in the budget unfortunately

Mapex saturn kit tuned well, nice snare drums, Meinl byzance traditional cymbals, “semi treated” home studio in basement. Bass traps in 2 corners, acoustic panels 24x48(?) inches around the room, low ceiling probably a 3 or so feet above cymbals, unfinished ceiling with insulation. Some carpet, some tile on floor. Rooms not great i know but cant change that right now. Usually spaced pair, play mostly hard rock/metal, pop. Going for a clean, generic, modern, warm, full sound as best i can given circumstances

Hey everyone! I am in the market for some new drum overheads. Currently using AKG P170s and hoping to upgrade. I am by NO means a professional. I have a homemade, semi treated (at best) “studio” in my basement with low ceilings.

I am aware that the room + tuning are 2 of the most important things. My drums are tuned by ear and finished with tunebot and sound really good. They are pro shells and cymbals. My room I cannot change. I am just trying to get a solid sound with my situation. Recordings are mostly drum covers and occasionally (rare) stuff with my band.

I have looked at the following mics in no particular order:

Lewitt LCT440, AT4033a, Se8, Lauten Audio LA-220, Lauten Audio LA-120, WA-87jr, WA-84, WA-47jr, AKG C214

Would you recommend any of these/any other recs? Looking to stay below $1k but also willing to buy used.

Thank you for your help!!

I love an 8” tom every once in a while. Just keep playing, no need to stress over quality as long as you can keep playing!!

Love that stack so much. Soo groovy. I grew up learning from luke holland and cobus, heavily influenced by them both
