On our floor toms we wanted to match the thunderous sound of our kick, so my initial thought was to go with Beta 52s. Since we were using the 98s which are condensers on the high toms, Ryan Smith at Shure suggested the KSM27. That was a great call!!

I use two other microphones: the Beta 56 and the SM58. We use the 56 as my vocal mic because of it's great ability to reject unwanted noise, which in our case, would be the drums! The 58 is used as my talk back mic that can only be heard by the band, sound crew and video director.
