back in my partnered studio daze...we had beyer m-422 and m-201 on the snare...occasionally the senn 421 would show up or the 441 but usually only when the player gave you the room to use em...nowadays i use an audix d-1 or a 57.....the 57 came from a defunct pa company years ago....i bought 10 mics from em...this particular 57 is the only one ive ever heard that sounds like this....i've personally owned a large pa system and had 25 57's at one time....this one is different.....peace
