I own one, and it's a pretty good mic. It doesn't have the depth of a REALLY good mic, meaning it is bright, and it tends to make the vocals sit on top of the mix as apposed to being part of the mix, or cut through the mix as I like to put it. I think it is an excellent mic for drum over heads if you can get 2 of them. Not so much for metal but for mellower types of music. I personally like to use it as a room mic to pick up the natural reverb of the room when I am recording drums. I would suggest that you also look into ADK mics, they are excellent for the money!
