Welcome Mark!

I'm sure you've already noticed our very active acoustic music forum here. It was the first of its kind on the net!

Cheers -

I just started my collection and won't go into the ones available at school:

(2) NT5s (matched pair)
(2) AT 2041sp packs
(1) Bluebird (On Cucco's recommendation)

It's a short list, I know, but I have a lot of other mikes at my disposal

And I'm a drummer, how do I still not own some 57s?

It depends on the studio. Some studios put their mics away when they are not being used. While another studio will leave their mics left out on stands.
