Yes, you should be terrified. Depends on the drummer, but I'd never put one of my 84's on snare. There's always the chance of a stray stick, etc.. I love the sound though. I found that the MXL991/604 sounds in some ways better (if you're looking for some brightness on the top head) and they are throw away cheap, so when I put a SDC on the top head of the snare, that gets the nod.
