I have eight of them now. I finally got to use them to mic a whole drum kit, bottom and top heads. Crazy, there are no phasing issues, no need for phase reversal. The drums sound so huge I'm beginning to think it's the secret behind John Bonham's drum sound. It's like instant huge. No eq, no compression, just f*cking drum dynamite. I read recently that this mic was used to record Nick Drake's guitar on the Pink Moon lp. I can totally hear the 65 Guild come alive with this dope mic. Rudy Van Gelder says these mics are what make Impulse recordings sound so larger than life, that he did not use them on the Blue Note or Prestige recordings. That's Coltrane's tone on A Love Supreme, it's this magic mic (not the male stripper movie). I have a Nuemann u87 and I swear that mic can record a gnat farting at 50 feet, but the real life imaging of this mic makes you almost smell it too. So amazing.
