Great for miking snares

If you don't like tweaking a SM57 to death to find the sweet spot then this is the mic to buy. I record drums ALOT!!!!!! and really was looking for a snare mic that didn't require a ridiculous amount of eq. I discovered this mic after watching a particular drummer perform with it at the Modern Drummer 2005 weekend. Have used it ever since with great results.

A bit clumsy 
by Benjamin L Backus from Chandler, AZ, July 2005

This microphone sounds a bit like a beta 57a. Soundwise, there are no complaints, but the design is really poor. It is difficult to get the microphone on some mic stands, the tightening knob for the tilt angle become worthless after about a year, and the take up so much space. There have been so many improvements and miniturizations in drum microphones, it just makes this one seem a bit archaic.
