I got a couple rough personal guidelines I like to follow... (1) I generally have a specific sounding kit I like to choose from so I'll start there, whether it be a recent kit I built or a new one I'm bout to build but with the same signature feel I like. (2) Back in the day, I used to prefer... -

Microphone
