Here is a link to something interesting about a drum mic.
The following is a quote.


This was posted on another forum.  I may pick up a couple at RS for this price.....can't hurt.  I'm thinking about the bottom of the snare for starters.

I bought 3 for $20/each.  not bad at all; my singers like them for the rehearsal space as they feedback LESS than a 57 or 58...

for higher-pitched stuff, snares and small toms and the like, they're good.  not great, but a hell of alot better than you'd expect for $20.

in all truth, having the shock mounts alone is worth $20/mic.

I'm thinking of installing one inside an old tabla, and one inside the treble side of my dhol... cheap enough to experiment with, that's for sure.
