Sennheiser 609 vs. 906

11
Thanks for all the info, everyone. This is great. For $99, I'm sure I'll be very happy having it around, even if I meant to get a 906.

Nick, I haven't tried it yet. I'm recording a demo for a really cool kid I know next week. His band is the future of rock, man.
I wish I had been that genuinely cool (also polite and smart) when I was 18. I'm going to send them your way when they have some dough.

We're doing drums with three mics (large condensor in front of the kit, small condensor overhead, PZM across the room)
plus bass (DI + what the PZM picks up, although I'm considering isolation)
I only have 4 inputs.

Then I'm going to overdub guitar and use the 609.
No vocals.

My mic selection is this:
MXL Large Diaphram
MXL Small Diaphram
Crown PZM
Blue Ball
Sennheiser 609
Shure SM57
Shure SM58

If you guys can think of any switching around that might work for me, I'm all ears. The drum setup I mentioned is what I've used in the past with pretty good results. That was before I had the 609 or the Ball though.
The music is pretty Post Rock. "Live" drums are completely acceptable.

Thanks again!
