I'm looking into buying some microphones for use with my tabla. Can anyone tell me where I can find microphones such as the kind in the picture above? They need to be cheap, because while I can appreciate the difference between bad mics and good mics, I can't shell out the money for the good ones. :( Mainly I'm after microphones capable of being attached in the manner shown above, and ones that won't sound too terribly bad when I use them. I'm thinking sub-$100 if possible.
Follow Ups:
The pic is of a mate of mine Peter Lockett, (a brilliant percussionist with a well deserved reputation). I'm not sure quite what the mics are there, look like some of the new type of "drum pack" mics that are so common today. I personally favour sennheisers for tabla, indeed those are what I have used when I have worked with Pete, but shure SM57's are a possibility. If you must go for clip on's all the major manufacturers make them now AKG Sennheiser, Beyer etc, but they will be more like $100 each. Fine in a PA application, not that I would reccommend them for recording purposes though.Regards
