CC 57 : Punches way above their weight! However…

I’ve purchased 3 of these so far for all of my Toms. I did a series of tests alongside some notable standard Tom mics and these held their own! I just finished recording the drums for my band’s new album and can’t be happier with them. However the largest problem is the mechanical design. I do NOT recommend clipping these right to a drum, instead you can find some cheap standard mic clips that fit the middle body and mount them on a mic arm. Mounting it this way enables the microphone to be positioned closer to the drum head AND with it being detached from the drum the angle of the gooseneck will stay in place. Warning though- don’t put the mic too close to the head or the sound will get too boomy. I’m also surprised with how decent the off-axis rejection is for being a condenser mic. I would buy them again and I like that they don’t cost a ton to replace if needed…however buy multiple mics at once since shipping is so costly!
