@TylerTeeple Dude he uses 3 U47 Clones. So you might wanna add USD1100 to that.
-
@alexevans917 i play like metalish stuff. soo snare and bass drum are absoultly nessisary. toms are just for if i got extra mics layying down and i realy care that much. i dont do that many fills soo its not a big deal
-
@snackeye12 Very true- I play folkier stuff, so I hardly need kick or snare mics, and I only have one tom. A hihat mic and a ride mic and beyond unnecessary.

It's not that all of these mics are used for the purpose of pushing them all up at once. You can push up the hat mic right when there's a little hat fill, or push up the room mics when you want an explosive sound. The idea is to have flexibility in the mix, not that you NEED all these mics. The basic sound is probably made of OH, kick, snare, and room mics. Plus, $8330 for this many mics is a great bundle. A single vintage C12 in working order costs upwards of $12,000.

@alexevans917 i think two over heads a snare mic and a kick mic is more then enough. the toms is pushin it

Ha screw this. One of two good condensers, maybe a kick mic, maybe a snare mic. For me, a great sounding acoustic set with one mic well positioned will beat 10,000 decent sounding sets with 4,000,000 mics on them. Too many people try and compensate for bad instruments with good (and abundant) mics.
