The other industry standard. Snare drums, guitar amps, toms, brass—this mic just works on everything. It's been on more records than you've heard in your lifetime. Affordable, indestructible, sounds great. There's no reason not to own several of these. I have four or five scattered around my studio and they're on almost every session.
