In the same vein as for the audio interface comparison, i've always wanted to directly compare those microphones with the same drummer, same room, same gear etc... and now it's done ;-) - Glad if this kind of experience is helping you.

We’ve recorded 3 different takes - the tuning of the battery as well as the placement of the microphones was maintained between each takes - Tom, once again, did an amazing job to stay constant in his hitting and playing.

MIcrophones :
Kick : Akg D112
Snare top : Shure beta 56
Snare Bot : Shure Beta27
Tom 12’’ : Shure sm57
Tom 16’’ : Shure sm57

Drums :
Kick 22x20 Tama Starclassic B/B
Snare 14x6 Tama Athenian Warlord series
Tom 12’’ Tama Starclassic B/B
Tom 16’’ Tama Starclassic B/B

Cymbals :
Zildjian a custom 14’’ hh
Zildjian a custom 16’’ crash
Zildjian a custom 17’’ crash
Zildjian a custom 20’’ ride
