to second randy,
every sound engineer (live sound) that i've worked with, keeps raving about the audix D6. i think just for this mic alone, i'd get the package.

Thanks Randy...good point!
what about the senheiser 421? I've used them and they work great on toms as well as bass drum, sometimes i even see it on snare.
Hey, vinnie uses them on toms on the zildjian video (my favorite drum (toms especially) sound so far).
Personally I am not a fan of the 421, sounds too boxey to me. For kic, the ultimate mic of choice would be an EVRE20
md421 works great for the bass, toms as well as the snare! It's also great for guitar.
ehem, for those 200$ you can't get one of these! Try the audix or shure pgd packs.
The mike that has become the current favorite of most sound guys - live and many in the studio for rock music is the Audix D6. I've yet to read or hear any sound man say anything other than it's awesome. Electronic Musician has an online roundup review of 6 or 8 kick drum mikes from a couple of years or so ago just before the D6 was released that's available online at their site.

I have a D6 in my newer DW/Pacific kit and it sounds very nice.
