Does anyone have suggestions for a good but affordable vocal mic for a drummer?
I sing back up and a rare lead song.
My limited experience was with an sm58 a few times but I think I remember that the bleed from the snare occasionally caused feedback on each hit. I switched to an sm57 but it's kind of a pain that I have to sing directly into it on a correct axis. I'd like to have a little bit of room to move if I'm playing and singing to the side into a mic.
I may just go back to an sm58 and hope it was more of a pa/room issue.
I also considered a beta 58a but it sounds like that is very directional, too. I heard it's good for less feedback but have no experience with it.
ps
I refuse to do the Janet Jackson looking headset mic. Sorry. I have a tiny bit of vanity left
Nothing against people who use them...they make the most practical sense. I'm just not a fan of the looks for ME.
If it helps, we typically play small bar gigs with a modest pa and 1 or 2 monitors. I usually mic the kick and occasionally mic the snare.
