What Mic? An SM57 of course!

We often discuss mic choices, but I found this old UK TV show from the 70s, with some very well known faces, and the choice of mics is very unusual, even back then - Look at the odd use of the compere's mic and SM57's on virtually everything - and for the era it sounds pretty good!

It's like that ad for Frank's RedHot:

"You can put that **** on anything"



** I happen to prefer it to the 58 for live vocals.

When talking about "anything", how does the sm57 work on a hihat?
