Everybody who runs a pro recording studio has at least one Shure SM57 and most PA companies will have half a dozen. The reason is that that will make a decent job of recording most things and really for the snare drum it’s the recording microphone of choice over mics costing 10 times as much. Listen to 20 classic albums and chances are the snare and probably the electric guitar cabs have been miiked with a Shure SM57. It’s a directional cardioid dynamic mic and it records what you point it at, rejecting sound from the side and rear. Added to this it can handle really loud sound without a pad making it great for drums and roooockkkk guitars
