i'm planning on building out some pretty typical omni electrets with panasonic wm-61a capsules. i'm not expecting them to hold up to snare spl levels, but for drums they seem like they should do well pretty much everywhere else sans kick and maybe floor toms (due to frequency response). my only concern is the amount of bleed inherent in the mics due to their pickup pattern. the vast majority of the material i'm working on is modern death metal and thus tends to be pretty technical in nature. most artists want a lot of panning (to a surreal degree), and to make my life easier i'm looking to maximize spot mic placement while minimalizing bleed between sources. should i be considering different capsules here?
i know from experience that most live theater mic-ing is done via omni electrets so i'm hoping i'll be ok, but speech spl and mic proximity is obviously not nearly that of a drum kit. more relevant experience would be of infinite help!
