Micing various percussion instruments..

[RushHourSoul]

Hey everyone..

Does anyone have any tips for micing various percussion items like tambourines, shakers, cowbells, triangles etc.. or even mixing them?

I'm trying to create a percussion-y kind of piece, and so far I think its ok, what do you guys think?

Its called 'the Trianglular Beat'

Thanks.

Condenser mics are your friend. :)

57 or condenser.

Cheers, I've been using a SM58 so far.

the results on a 58 should be similar to those on a 57 i.e. decent... are you unhappy with the quality? If so, you may wanna try a condenser.
