Reviews

Try it on everything!
Been using just for overheads. Captures the entire kit, so you may have to EQ out the low end if you just want to capture cymbals, etc. You could easily cheat and just use 3 of these. Recently I wanted a wierd looking mic for a YouTube video. The TC20 captured the sound so well none of us could believe it. A live sound engineer showed me how fantastically well it can reject sound from the rear. Basically point at what you want to capture and be impressed.
