Drum Samples + Mic Shootout

[Soundlurker]

Ok, here's what we've got:
2 mics on Tom1, Tom2 and FloorTom; 3 mics on Snare.
SnareA2 is same mic as SnareA only it mics the bottom of the snare.

Obviously it's quite hard to name the exact mic but you can start of by saying what type of mic it is and of course sharing your opinions about the samples.

 

[Soundlurker]

No one cares?

 

[KeithTidd]

i liked snare a best. no idea what kind of mic it is though.

 

[Soundlurker]

Yeah, I was dissappointed from one of the mics and pleasantly surprised by another, for micing toms, anyway. Snare C is an sm57 so you can compare the others to that.

I love these, but the link isn't working for me. Not sure why. I'll try again later.

 

[Soundlurker]

Well, in case anyone wondered: A is Oktava Mk012 B is Shure Beta 52.

 

[ReliXKeepeR]

And you really liked the Oktava on toms (and snare) while you dislike the Beta, correct?
The highs of the Beta always sound strange.

 

[Soundlurker]

Yes, the highs don't sound good at all. I didn't really like it as a kick mic, too.

Who are you recording and mixing right now? And where? And what do you think about the new PJ studio?
