Audix D2 on Toms - Happy

[Phyl]

Not that I have a frame of reference, but anyway...

I bought three of these and put them on my toms. I was immediately impressed by how little bleed there was from the rest of the set. Must be the hyper cardiod pattern at work. The sound seemed fine too. I need to play around with where to point them at the head and figure out how that affects the tone.

I'm not sure I like the D-vice holders that came free with the mics; they seem to move around way too easy. Time will tell.

Audix makes GREAT drum mics, thanks for joining me on the darkside. Please tell me you got th DP5 or DP5a. Not that the others arent good, but the 5 comes with everything you could want. Wise investment my friend, and welcome to the post SM57 world.

I got three Audix D2s, and plan on getting a D4 for the floor tom.

Phyl my man, You can get a DP5a kit on ebay NEW for under 500 bucks. one I5 which slays a SM57 in nearly every application, 2 d2's, a d4 for floor toms and bass cabs, and a D6 which is my go to kick mic, plus you get the mounts and a case. Sell the D2's and pick up the set.
