axisdreamer · 4th July 2006

I was doing drumset with three mic's for a little while, One B&O BM-3 Ribbon mic ($450.00) on overhead, 57 on snare, Shure Beta 52 ($200.00) on kick. I had a loud Ludwig Maple drumset and put it in a corner of the room to make the set even louder.The toms came out nice and fat .The B&O mic has an RCA ribbon in it and sounds very fat and big and round in the mid and bottom.You can find them on ebay sometimes but they seem to be going up in price as more people are finding out about them.
