i'm looking into getting some drum mics and was just wondering any input you guys might have on certain brands or types, i dont need anything too fancy or pricey

Shure, Audix, CAD are good names....depends on how much ya spend.
All above brands also sell shitty sets.

AKG D790 rules for kick drums,

i found one for about 60 buck on ebay that is an audix fusion 4, yay or nay?

Those are all right. They go for around$200 new. Whats your budget? Is this for live or studio use?

senhizer e604 for toms, sm 57a for snare, beta 52 for bass drum... i still dont know what to recommend for overheads i don t like anything i can afford.

i wanna spend like 200-300 and for mainly studio use

Your better off getting that audix mic kit if thats your budget.(but you still need overheads and somthing for snare)Assuming you have a 5 pc kit. If you went w/ the standard shure sm-57's($90-100) on everything your still running $400 + and thats w/ no overheads.

Check out the Shure PG line they have 4 mic pak for $250. That will cover toms and kick, then pick up a used Audix I5 or sm57 used for $50. But you still need over heads. A pair of octavia mk-012($200) are decent for overheads.

Guitar center allways has the audio referance(audio techs cheap/cheese line)3 or 4 mic kit for around $100-150 on sale(they basically have a "sale" every weekend). Or check out the CAD pro-7, 7 pc mic pak for $200.

Also keep in mind, that you will need stands and cables, so check out the paks because some mics come w/ the tom mounting bracket.
