Got to work with this mic when the Thomas Lang's tour manager insisted on using them for his masterclass tour since he was also a representative of Beyerdynamic. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the quality of the mics making it top choice for my own setup.
Great and clear sounding mics. Dial in enough HPF, and careful gaining provides quick and workable results from the get-go.
Convenient long goosenecks negate potential placing difficulties on drums with so-called separate lug systems, which turned out to be somewhat of a challenge with the short goosenecks of the 58's
Clear and honest mics with great attack and and relatively little coloration, though the lift in the high end is clearly noticeable. The clamp system is a godsend, and still discrete, regardless of its size.
