ReviewsGreat little Mic
by Bill Georges from L.A. CA.
I have used this mic in my studio and for live events. It is very easy and a great time saver. You don't have to worry about hitting it because of how it clips on to the drum rim. The sound is grea... read more [+]t, very full and best of all needs little fuss. I do sometimes use a 20db pad in line for studio sessions to get more of the preamp flavor out of my API 3124 because the mic is pretty hot. I have 3 of them and will pick up one more from Kyle Manship my Sweetwater sales rep soon. For you drummers/recording engineers call Kyle if you have any questions. He is a drummer/recording engineer and very helpful. close [-]

by AC Buffalo from Los Angeles, CA
I'm usually not a fan of clip on mics, for studio use, with exeption the opus 88. The sound is tight and crisp, and the clamp is strong and stays in place. I used rented a pair from a los angeles au... read more [+]dio rentals place whom suggested I give these a shot. August 31, 2009 Music Background: Recording Engineer Often when micing snare drums, placing microphones (usually sm57's) on snare, it difficult to get in there and place the top mic, moreover, placing the bottom mic where is even harder; if you think about the fact that you're going to need to reverse the phase. If the mics are not aligned, flipping the phase is going to cause more problems than what it offers. Long Story Short: if you clip these mics one over the other, on the snare drum, your drum sound will be HUGE. anyway, I always rent mics, before buying them. close [-] one of the best tom mics out!!
by Jay from MI, usa
I have 4 of these and have used them extensively in the studio and quite a few live shows as well. They are absolutely outstanding in either application. Nice full bottom without being boxy. Smooth to... read more [+]p end too...not to clicky but nice and clear. Clamp securely to any drums I have encountered yet (pearl, Tama, Gretsch, DW). I do still prefer the Opus 87 or sm 57 on snare though. Again, they are the whip for toms! Get some. close [-]
