Audio Technica AT 2020

I have the opportunity to buy one of these dirt cheap but don't play an acoustic and don't need it for vocals. Is there any application whatsoever that I could use it for heavy rhythms?

Thanks.

Sure you could try it on guitars, would work as a spot mic for cymbals as well. Never used one but if its dirt cheap you can buy it, try it out and then sell it on again if you don't like it!

it's not great but how cheap is dirt cheap?

They were $40 each but I passed. Bought a nearly new i5 from him for $40. If you're in the CT area he has another. He's a nice guy to deal with:

i5 will probably get you a better electric guitar tone, are i5s good for anything else though? That and snare.

The last time I used one of my 2020s was on floor tom and I just spend an afternoon replacing that track with samples.
