a friend of mine got these as cheap overheads for drums, he doesn't like them so much says they sound "wussy."
i've used them a couple of times in a live atmosphere and i think they sound pretty good considering the cost. unfortunately at the moment i don't have any samples to show off, but i should shortly.
I'm a poor college kid on a budget and just started getting into recording a little over a year ago, i think they're a great starter package for others in the same situation.
