| They will be in the same ballpark. I love the old white/grey ones and prefer them over the black ones.

|  421 oh yeah baby ...and I love the new black/gold (special edition) ones. Wonderful mic. And it comes in a beautyful wooden case with blue velvet that you could use for your jewellery. Or a Grammy. Or an Oscar. |

Just my opinion, I guess there's many who only believe in the holy spirit of the 60's MD421's. BTW: Every tom sounds different. So why don't you just try to match the different MD421's with the different toms? Vintage MD421 for floor tom, new MD421 for rack tom... Play. I think no drummer will hate you for that. | |

| Hi, like with vintage 1176s, you probably won't find two old 421s that are alike enough to make a good stereo pair. And probably half of the old 421s on the market are f...ed, that's true. But if you get a good one,  yeaaahhh...One way to accumulate a nice collection is to buy fifteen on ebay, pick out the ones you like and re-sell the rest (I admit, that's easier in Germany than anywhere else). I got six 421's that way, and have them all numbered - one is great on kick drum, two are good on 14-18" toms, two are good on 10-14" toms, and one is wonderful on guitar cabinets. They're all the old beige-coloured type with weird large or small Tuchel connectors. Cheers, Tom |
