I have a pair of these and have used them all over the drum kit. They're fantastic as overheads, as well as great room mics in omni (probably my favorite use for them).

I've never worked with an engineer (as a drummer) who ever had anything bad to say about these (or the 32s) on drums either.April 18, 2010 Music Background: Professional studio musician and home recordist Versatile and wonderful mics! close [-] A great mic that's very versatile!
by Steve Schriemer from Ann Arbor, MI
I purchased my KSM44 about 2 years ago and I've been very happy with my purchase. I've compiled some pros and cons to this mic that I hope will prove to be helpful to you:May 18, 2008 Music Background: Student in Recording School, Folk Rock Musician, Producer Cons: ... read more [+] - This mic can sound very colored if you are not careful about placement. Vocals can sound flat and guitars can sound too light. - This mic can sound a little too bright at times. Especially on things like mandolin, or piano. It doesn't always handle high frequencies very well. Pros: - Because of it's abundant features, this mic is very versatile. I've used this mic on acoustic guitars, male vocals, recorder, Chimes, Guitar amps, bass amps, and harmonica with great results. - I've found that mic placement is very sensitive with this mic, but if you work at it, you can get a great sound out of this mic! I've found it to perform with a very transparent and clean sound when I worked hard to find its "sweet spot." - The digital brightness that this mic has can be cured with a tube preamp. I bought an ART MPA Gold tube preamp and that has helped to give the mic's sound some warmth and richness on the frequencies above 1k. Overall: This is a great mic and I'm very happy with mine. This thing is very durable and it's a workhorse. I would definitely recommend this mic to anyone who is looking for a mic with multiple applications and a nice sound for the price. close [-] Sweetwater Advice
Kenny BergleThis is a great multi-purpose mic. The KSM44 is neutral and natural. Great for vocals and acoustic instruments, it's perfect for the studio using one mic for everything. Equally nice for the pro studio expanding their mic selection.
