I needed some more mic cables

I needed some more mic cables, so I could mic up the drum set. At the same time I had a coupon for www.musiciansfriend.com . It was $25 off any purchase of $250 or more. Plus they are running a great sale w/ free shipping for all orders over $29. Usually this number is closer to $199. Let's see what I need and if I can hit that $250 mark:

First, I added this

Musician's Friend Lo-Z Microphone Cable 20' 10-Pack
Musician's Friend Lo-Z Microphone Cable 20' 10-Pack

And I'm short of a few guitar cables too, so I added two of these:

Musician's Friend Braided Instrument Cable 1/4
Musician's Friend Braided Instrument Cable 1/4" Red 10 Foot

With all the extra cables, I'll be out of cable ties; I bought 3 packages of these:

Cord-Lox 3/4
Cord-Lox 3/4" x 5" Cable Control System 5-Pack

I'm not sure how many of you know about my snare drum woes, but my snare drum has broken snares. Because it is so old, I can't find replacements. I added this snare, as it is one of the cheapest I've ever seen. It should do fine for my purposes:

Pulse Steel Piccolo Snare 14X3.5 Inches
Pulse Steel Piccolo Snare 14X3.5 Inches

The drum key that came w/ my brother's set is starting to rust a little:

Evans Torque Drum Key

And the drum sticks I have are kind of wearing out, probably due to age. So I added a few sets of sticks:

Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks Nylon 3A
Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks Nylon 3A

Pro-Mark Natural Hickory Drumsticks Wood 5B
Pro-Mark Natural Hickory Drumsticks Wood 5B

I was still about $100 bucks under the coupon threshold. After discovering that Behringer products could not be included in the promotion, I ended up with this mic set:

Nady SCM 900-CM 90 Studio Mic Package
Nady SCM 900-CM 90 Studio Mic Package

I'm torn. I love to get and play w/ new mics, but I'd almost rather have had the direct box and patch bay that I had originally selected. Since I'm not actively recording bands, those would have more immediate use to me than the mics. Maybe next time.
