When recording, I prefer to leave mikes and technique to the engineer. He is responsible for final product, so I leave that to him/her.

I need input about mikes and technique for Live performance. Wish I played arenas, but still in the clubs. Basic instinct is KISS - so I like 3 mikes, 1 for the kick, 2 OH. Somewhat on budget, but would like to know about the SM-57's as OH mikes. How do these work for live performance? Do condenser mikes pick up less sound from bass/guitar? Sound better for overall kit sound?

Thanks.

The SM-57's work well with any instrument.

Even as overheads.

Although there have been some improvements made with the SM-57 drum mic kits.
