Ultimate Drum Overhead Microphone Shootout

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=pP-KUWjYo9c

Here is a comparison of lots of drum overhead microphones. Microphones are all running through the SSL AWS924, all recorded simultaneously. I have done a very small amount of compression (FabFilter C2) and there is a limiter over the master to bring everything up to the correct volume for YouTube (-14LUFS). The compressor and limiter are hardly doing anything - just catching the odd transient here or there. • 0:00 Intro • 0:18 Microphone Placement • 1:06 Neumann U87 • 2:00 AKG 414 (XLS) • 2:50 Telefunken M60 • 3:41 Neumann KM184 • 4:32 Oktava MK-012 • 5:24 Line Audio CM3 • 6:14 Josephson C42 • 7:06 Audio-Technica Pro 37 • 7:57 Electro-Voice 653A • 8:48 Coles 4038 • 9:39 Royer R-121 • 10:30 Beyerdynamic M160 • 11:21 AEA R88 • 12:13 2 Bars Hi Hats of each Mic • 12:55 Half Time Groove Each Mic • 15:01 Subscribe
