its more likely a blue ball

The blue, kick, snow, and 8 ball all have the same shape. The lighting doesn't really let you know in that pic.

I had a pair of blue ball mics and they were actually pretty cool for toms... but they were plastic.

Ah looking at the second scene later on it's definitely either an 8 or a blue. The snow is white and the kick is red so it's not either of those.

I still think its the Blue 8-ball but it could also be the Sage Electronics SE-BB1 aka "Bova Ball"

At this point the only thing left is to figure out what studio that is and call them up.
