I have heard many on this forum mention again and again that they use ribbon mics as overheads to great success.
What I was wondering is with some of the newer ribbon mics such as the Royers and Coles is this always safe. These new ribbons are supposed to to be able to handle much higher SPLs than older ribbon mics, but would you use them on any drummer with any kit or only softer playing jazz type drummers.
Just asking because I mainly record rather heavy rock bands and wanted to know if purchasing a set of these mics would be wise or are the ribbons gonna get blown out in a week.
