Cheaper, but still quality mics, I’d go with anything made by Shure.
You can even get some mics bundled into a “drum kit mic package” for a little bit less than buying them individually. Get something with some Beta 98’s that can clip on either Toms on a drum kit, or be used on your conga. For the cajon, I’d probably throw a 57 on the front and a Beta 52 on the back. The 57 can double as a snare mic and 52 as a kick mic.
Thank you so much! This is all great info!
Shure was the standard for cheap-but-quality when I was more into this 15 years ago, but I've been so out of the loop that I wasn't sure if that was still the case.
I'd also suggest looking at used gear shops, they tend to have lots of mics for cheap too.
