Which drum microphone should I choose?

It depends on several things. The type of drums you play and the sound you want. There are two main types of drum microphones: condenser microphones and dynamic microphones. Condenser microphones are better at capturing high frequencies and provide a clear and detailed sound. They are often more expensive than dynamic microphones, but they are also better at producing a clean sound.

Dynamic microphones are better at capturing low-frequency sounds and produce a warmer, rounder sound. They are often cheaper than condenser microphones, but they are not as good at producing a clean sound. When choosing a drum microphone, you also need to consider where it will be placed. If you want a versatile microphone that can be used for both drums and vocals, a condenser microphone may be the best choice. If you only want to use the microphone for drums, a dynamic microphone might be better.

It's also important to consider the type of amplifier you're using. If you are using an amplifier with a low input impedance, use a microphone with a low output impedance. If you use an amplifier with a high input impedance, use a microphone with a high output impedance.

Once you've found the type of drum microphone that best suits your needs, you can start considering which brand and model is best for you. There are many different brands and models of drum microphones on the market, so you may want to read reviews to find out which ones are best.
