Great River MP3V - Colored or transparent.Grace 101 or 802 - Transparent and fast.Millennia Media HV3B - Transparent and fast.I have included their characteristic sound after each model. Here are some preamps that I have found useful for recording Drums and Percussion. Different preamps will change the sound of a microphone exponentially.
