Question Condensors for live use?

I got 2 pair of condensors that I wanna use for overheads for drums. Now I know I maybe/probably get a ton of bleed. I'm hoping if i keep the drum monitors down it will be ok. Now the question is which will be better Large diaphram or small diaphram?

I was thinking of using the smaller ones but now I'm not so sure.

For live, I'd go with the small diaphrams. I like using the big one's in the studio for overheads but live you're going to want the litte ones.

I have a pair of Carvin small diaphrams I use on our drum kit live. I didn't want to spend a whole lot and have them beat to hell. They work pretty damn well. I've used them in a pinch in the studio too. Sucks being on tiny budget.

Oh and don't worry about a little bleed. I actually count on it. In smallish to medium clubs I usually only throw a kick, snare, and pair of overheads on a kit anyway. The overheads are great at grabbing cymbals and toms, live.

Small diaphragms. I've used my Nady SD condensers on live drums lots of times. Bleed shmeed. You just have to watch levels, since those fuckers will pick up everything. Generally, most clubs don't even need the cymbals mic'd, as you probably know. But I like 'em mic'd, so, I'd say use 'em.

Well I went with the large diaphram's IT appears they have a tighter pattern. I'll let you guys know tomorrow how they came out.

Remember to cut the livin' shit out of the lows. No need in a cymbal mic! High pass filter is best!

Actaully. Things changed the sound guy was a douche. Refused to give me any feeds of the board so I just wound up using the 2 condensors as room mics. So the recording should be pretty craptacular.
