Small cardioid dynamic microphone for tom and percussion in general. Supplied with a clip instead of good quality, € 30 I think ... Cheap, very convenient.

OVERALL OPINION

I recorded 11 songs with 3 of these mics on the toms of a battery 3.
A piece of such ( http://raphael.raymond.free.fr/05-setoufferensemble.mp3 )

So I would say that it really does its job but nothing more. There are very few serious, very little extent, yet the battery is a Pearl Chad Smith signature so in "scope" There's something to do I think (I'm not too drummer either).
The blast medium is quite cold and aggressive, so it will be fine sounds toms typed rock and metal, but forget the jazz sounds typed in my opinion. There is no roundness required. On a voice that suggest a micro phone EQ centered on 2 or 3 kHz, ideal for making voice phone / talkiewalkie / megaphone. A equalization is catching some serious because this lack of response is poor but not cut, but hey it's not ecstasy, either.
Voucher for € 30 I do not regret my purchase because it ultimately intends toms and they are quite percussive. But hey, if I could have the sub and less urgent pourme pay 3 57 (or Béta56 or E604 ...) I would have done, unfortunately I only € 100 for 3 toms. Compare the verse riff tom with that of stockholm syndrome muse and you will understand what I mean by lack of scale.

I put 6 because it is really not expensive at all, it would cost more than € 60 I will ... 4
