Late night Down & Dirty test to get an idea of what the Copperphone has to offer. 1st time using one of these guys, I like…

Trying out a MD421 on the Snare shell. Verdict – Not all that into “side snare” micing. A lot of bleed.
Initial 990 Advanced Mod/PCB replacement mic test. Need to get these in front of the Drum kit for a real test!
I received a RK-47 capsule from microphone-parts.com & decided to upgrade a beat-up ole NT2 that has collected dust. Great sounding capsule. I ran a quick comparison vs my Red R8. I set them up on equal sides of fender deluxe cone & noodled down some keys.
I scored myself a pair of original Wahrenbrock PZM Microphones. I built a “Wedge” for them over the weekend. You can learn more about that Via – This.
I can’t wait to use them as drum kit/tracking room mics.
I wanted to see how the 414 & SR78 measured up for overhead duties. Both work exceptionally well but with drastically different outcomes. I personally prefer the SR78’s. By design they roll off the lowend when not used as close spot mics. This is perfect when used with other individual drum mics. If one had to only use two mics, then the 414 would be a much fuller sound. With my setup I prefer the improved mid&high end clarity from the SR78’s when used in conjunction with others in a mix. Rides just sing with the sr78’s
