So I got a new matched pair of JM27's last week because I got a great deal on them. Today my used Oktava's came in, and I've had the two ADK hamburgs for a few years. Decided to see which I liked better for drum overheads.

Mics set up in the so called Recorder man Fashion. Recorded through my firestudio's pre's, no nothing added, just the raw tracks.

OKtava's and JM27's have similar gain. at in between 11 & 12 O clock
ADK Hamburgs w/ -18 db pads on (they were too hot without them) at about 1 'O clock on the dials.

All panned 65% to their prospective sides. Left is left, right is right.

Guess which are which? Which one do you prefer?

Will post answers tomorrow.

PS I am NOT a drummer. I just happened to pick up this drumkit for couple hundred bucks so my drummer has something to practice on...I try but don't expect much ;)







edit; listening back, i should a hit more cymbals. heh.

You must be the only other guy I know who has a pair of Hamburgs and uses them for OH.

I love those damn things.

I have the Mc-012s as well and I think between the 2 of those mics, you got a ton covered. I will grab for the 012s pretty much everytime though.
 
I'd try to guess, but of those mics, the Oktavas as the only ones I've used on overheads, and any of the three samples could plausibly have been the Oktavas, depending on how your kit actually sounds....
 
1 Oktava's
2 JM 27
3 Hamburgs

Conclusion.. oktava's sound rad.

Yeah, my gut reaction was that #1 sounded like my Oktava MK-012s, but I wasn't certain enough to say anything. :D
