Shocking in a good way
Ok so I ordered 6 of these.... 3 were non-functional right out of the box. I'm going to try 2 more.... cause I'm stupid... but I really really hope the pai r at least one works.... if so... I'll update my review to reflect. Ok found the issue, it was not the Mic's All of them work! And work well I am correcting my review...very good products I'm glad I have them....so worth the cost.

I was surprised, Studio comparison.
I own a Studio, with a designated (sound treated) drum room. These are really great mics for clarity on rack toms and high note floor toms. I did not find they picked up all the lower notes of the floor toms, and I will be using a larger diaphragm mic on those. My session drummer commented on how "out of the way, and out of sight" they are. To me a happy drummer AND great sound is a WIN, and worth the 5 stars. Just don't expect the low end sensitivity of other mics.

Great mic but doesn't have a -10 switch
It's a great mic. It sounds good but the gooseneck doesn't stay in place. For the money, you can't beat it

Perfect fit to my "repique de mão"
After a long search for a microphone to to fit my Brazilian-style hand drums, this was the best fit for it. I will update this review for the sound quality after performing with it. So far, so good.

poor working condition
I bought these for 2 rack toms. Both mics worked good for a few weeks. Now they don't work correctly. static comes through every time the toms are hit. I used different channels on my mixer, and still the same thing. I wouldn't recommend buying..

Handle with care. Keep superglue on hand.
The mic is cheap and actually works quite well, especially given the price point. One downside: it is a little more fragile than one might expect, so handle with care. I was adjusting the gooseneck in a hard to reach spot, but had grabbed the mic capsule for placement. In short, I caused the capsule pop off. It’s a little plastic piece that looks like it should be a friction/interference fit, but all that was holding it together was some CA glue (superglue). Two drops of superglue fixed it.

Gooseneck needs to be redesign
Extremely musical microphone. But the gooseneck refuses to stay in place. A little street engineering and you can manage to keep it in place. Thin strip of gaff and you are good to go. Again the sound it’s just impressive.

Sounds great, low profile
I got this elsewhere for $50. It’s a great mic, and has the ability to stay out of the way in tight scenarios. In my pics you see the mic head and the clip on my lead conga (quinto). You also see how it in no way interferes with me reaching the other congas. It’s perfect for this type usage.
