Audix F14 and F15

[jmxdrummer]

I was thinking of purchasing the F15(kick mic) and two f14 (cymbal mics). Has any one used them before?

thanks

The f14 is the kick mic. One was used to record this. It was mounted inside an 18" kick with an unported reso.

I have both. The F14 can sound good as long as it isn't close to the beater. When I used it, I put it just inside the port of the resonant head. Now I use a beta52, so the f14 only gets used on floor toms if I run out of mics.

I've only used my f15 on hats, and I really haven't been able to get anything special out of it. It feels heavy and looks nice though.
