Audio Technica ATM33a for drum overheads?

[Ritzy]

Did some searching of the forum, but there doesn't seem to be much info on this mic out there. I'm curious if anyone has ever used these for drum overheads and how they fared? They're a cardoid SDC; some more technical info can be found here: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/r...5dd81af8f57f289/0305_0844_06_atm_brochure.pdf

Cheers!

I used those for a album as ov,s about 11 years ago. If you can find one for a resonable price they are not bad little mics. The first version was phantom power only and the second could use a AA battery to power it.
I used mine with a Mackie 8 buss and Alesis original adats which is a horrible combination for any kind of recording but the mics still did a great job.

Ok, Cheers Herm! I'll see how I go!
