I was wondering if anyone used the studio projects B1 to mic toms?
I was going for a very live very huge drum sound like that on the most recent Mars Volta album, Frances the Mute.
I wanted a mic that I could use for anything from jazz to rock. I heard some very good things from the listening sessions with jazzoo, and they used 2 studio project B1s for the rack toms and one B3 on the floor (the millennia pre might of had a little to do with it).
Are these mics any good for rock? Has anyone had any luck getting a good open drum sound with minnimal bleed?
How does the 132 max spl holds up against the toms and how much sound bleeds from adjacent drums and cymbals?
