Sound:
Subject:A GORGEOUS GODDESS FOR DRUMS, BASS CABS, AND INSANE METAL VOCALS
Quality: BUILT LIKE A BRICK HOUSE, I HAVE ANOTHER ONE FROM THE EARLY 80'S, VERY WELL MADE AND SOLID, MY OLDER ONE IS HEAVY ENOUGH TO USE AS A DOORSTOP, SHE STILL SOUNDS AMAZING
Features: THE BASS ROLL-OFF SWITCH ALLOWS MANY SOUND COLORS-NOTMUCH MORE TO ASK FOR HERE
Ease of Use: SUPER EASY TO SET UP AND USE, THE OLD STYLE CLIP ADAPTER TO MOUNT ON A REG STAND IS A TOTAL PAIN IN THE BUTT, THIS CLIP BREAKS OFF OR IS LOST, IT'S NOT GOOD, SENNHEISER MUST DESIGN A SEMI-OR TOTAL SHOCK MOUNT FOR THIS ONE, IT IS AN OBSOLETE MOUNT FOR THIS MIC
Sound: THUNDER ON TOMS AND SNARE, VERY NICE ON BASS AND GUITAR CABS, CLOSE TO AN RE20 ON KICK DRUMS, GREAT FOR THRASH METAL LEAD VOCALS AND HOWLS/SCREAMS

Sound:
Subject:Another got to have mic.
Quality: These are built lighter than they used to be but still very solid
Features: The 5 way bass roll off is very nice.
Ease of Use: There are no instructions on what the roll off positions represent(hence the 4 on ease of use)
Sound: Classic 421, slightly bright, slightly open.Sounds pretty darn good on anything you'll use it on. This is a industry standard mic for guitar cabs, bass cabs and drums. You can't go wrong with this mic.

Subject:The Go To Mic For Floor Toms
Quality: These micropohones are well made. The only design issue is you have to have the sennheiser clip to mount the mic properly.
Features: The high DB SPL of this mic are incredible. I first ran into this microphone about 12 years ago recording a drummer. We had some Shure 57s but nothing we had worked on the floor tom. The floor tom had no bite and sounded like wet tissue paper. I obtained one of these microphones and instantenously the floor toms roared to life. Also outstanding on lower end toms. I've also used this microphone as a vocal microphone. This microphone was used in the 1960s as a vocal microphone. Though a decent condensor will be a better choice for vocals, this will do and works well on male voices.
Ease of Use: No issues at all.
Sound: It's all about the tone. The best microphone I have ever heard on a floor tom and low-toms on a drum kit.
