AT25 Mic - Good for anything other than drums?
I've got this AT25 that I somehow procured along the way. I've done some searching and can see it's primarily a drum mic (and quite a good one so it seems). As I never record drums I'm not sure if there's anything else I can use it for. I do sometimes record acoustic guitars and electric cabs. But pretty much just vocals the rest of the time.

Is it of any use to me? Or am I better of selling/swapping it?

Cheers

Good on bass guitar and can be killer on horns. Also low side of a Leslie cab. These are good mics, keep it.

Tenor sax, speaker cabinets (bass and guitar), accordion, percussion, and upright bass are some of the instruments I've used a '25 on.

I'll echo those thoughts...
In addition to enjoying this mic on floor tom and kick drum, I also happily use it on bass cab and horns... It's great on a trombone..
