i use a 906 because i like it better and its more low profile, but ive NEVER seen anyone have that problem with 57's before. im pretty sure they would still function, but a few shots right on the capsule and it might be done fer.

I was getting really frustrated because we had this low-end bloom/feedback that I could not find. I knew it was tied to the kick mic, but as I was adjusting while playing it was almost impossible to deal with without really screwing up my parts. The lead singer found it. The mic stand for the kick was vibrating. This was truly bizarre. We use one of those Shure bullet-looking mics and the entire stand was building this vibrational throb from the monitors. What a pain!

What a pain! | I know exactly what you're talking about and it sucks huge. This happens on so many so-called "stages" that are nothing more than a few pieces of plywood nailed over a framework of 2x4s. This can also happen if you have your bass cab resting directly on the stage. In severe cases we've gone so far as to ducttape mic stands down over foam strips which looks tacky as hell but seems to resolve the problem. A 31-band EQ can help in this regard too but I know all bands don't roll with that kind of gear especially when they are providing their own P.A. |

B52´s have notorious low-end boost, very prone to feed back, and with high stage volume it gets worse... it helps to have the rubber "feet" of the stand intact, and the stand on carpet. maybe raise your cabs off the stage... gating the kick channel would help somewhat, too... |

1 ambience mic overhead for the toms and cymbals.
Works fine, we gig about 7 times a month FYI. | This is also what my drummer uses.
IF really needed, you could buy a single mic, and mic his floor tom/toms, but that my not be needed. I'd say just go with a 3mic setup for that small of a kit.
1 - Bass Drum
1 - Snare/Hi-hat
1 - Overhead, |

No! It's the bassist's fault of course! ANY low-end feedback is ALWAYS the bassist's fault, don't you know that?!
