Almost anything is a better alternative than a 421. |

Heck, they are only toms. Surely most of the real sound is coming from more distant microphones. |

I had a drummer bring in a set of those Senn e604 clip on tom mics a year ago and found that despite the price and my prejudice they worked quite well. |

For close mic'ing toms - I am still very fond of the SM98, with a Beta98 following close-enough behind... |

FWIW, the SM98s seem to have a tighter pattern than most condensers I've used--I get somewhat enhanced sense of panning as the guy goes around the drums, similar to a dynamic. |

I should point out that I still use (and obviously still like) 421's on floor toms. |

Since when was anything about need? |

Next item: Find something that won't break the bank for snare drums. Getting sick of the same old 57 sound! (May try one of the 25's there tomorrow.) |

But, for me, the ultimate snare mic is the Sennheiser 441. |

try a cascade fathead or one of those nady rsm-5's, off axis. think outside of dynamics! |
