You should check out the DSM mics: www.sonicstudios.com Used these for field, concert and currently for drum overheads. Fantastic response and dimensionality, such that it still makes me jump (eg there's a car coming through my wall!) when I hear things recorded on them, as they reproduce the 3d space so well.
