I recently got my hands on a matched pair of @AustrianAudio CC8 small-diaphragm condensers to test in my new office studio (recently tricked out by @audimute). These mics are absolutely incredible. Possibly the best overheads I've ever tried. Super-clean, detailed, natural, rich, punchy...everything you could ever wish for in a pair of overheads. In this short demo, the only mics I'm using are the CC8s in an XY pattern over the center of the kit and a B52 4.5" in front of the bass drum. No EQ or compression on the mics. Just a little multiband compression and limiting on the master buss to keep the levels nice and tight. You can snag a pair of these CC8s for under $1k, plus a stereo bar. They're not the cheapest mics on the market, but they're as good (or better) than many others that cost upwards of twice the price. Check them out!
