| A recent drum mic shootout left me liking the MJ modded 205 over the fathead, although both were nice. For a room mic, it smoked the fathead, and for overheads, it edged it out - but by a smaller margin. I have to say that I really like the sound of the longer ribbon on drums where lowend is very important to me. The Fathead seems more voiced towards the midrange. I also tried Cascade's stereo X-15 and liked it a bit better than the fathead for OH, but I only had one fathead, so I couldn't do stereo - so maybe that's an unfair comparison. I like the build of the Cascades over the Apex. I guess I should try one of Cascades longer ribbon motor mics!!! thumbsup |
