if your sorry about the caps then why don't you not do them? I feel like you just yelled to me what you wanted from across the table.

i really like Rode condenser mics (NT1, NT2, NTK, etc) on snare. tehy're all decently priced.

I ate the beyer m201!

It was delicious.

It's also the only mic I use for snare tops. Mind you, I don't have that many microphones. Remember that you'd also have to get one of those pricy -20db pads for the 451 if you were using it on snare. That just bumps up your cost right there.
