hey guys how's the going?

i've been told the D112 is the standard for kick drums. i was also told the Audix D6 was better for recording than the D112. also was told that Beyer M88 'wears out ' pretty fast and i would have to replace the capsule a lot ( except for the older m88 ones.. ). then there's also that Electro-Voice mic...

Anyone have experience with this mic for the kick drum?

The workhorse here has been a Shure Beta 52 which is awesome if you work for a while finding the sweet spot. I've used AKG D112's in the past - really classic mic but just want something different.

Thumbs up or thumbs down on the Audix D6? Sounds great from what I've read but would like some real testimony too.

After getting screwed by an eBay scam artist and losing my Audix D1 purchase, I have to start over again.

Does anybody have any first-hand experience specifically comparing the D1 with the M201TG for close-miced snare?

Anyone using or have used this mic? What's your opinion of it?

Hey folks. I can afford one of these and I'd like your opinions on which one I should spend my money on.

I'm recording a jazz kit. I've been using a Shure Beta52 but I don't like the tone. It's too "rock n' roll" sounding.

Thanks!

Has anyone used the Audix adx-90 mics for drums or other instruments? They are on sale for $69.95 at MF but I have not heard much about them. Appreciate your opinions.

I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A GOOD DYNAMic MIC. RENTING THE UM5, USED THE 58 A LOT. ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN OPINION, THEN I'LL POST MINE!

I know it's usually true that you get what you pay for in electronics, but this one has me wondering... is it any good?

Okay, so we know about the Electro-Voice PL series being rebadged versions of Electro-Voice mics for sale through instrument dealers, and it's not hidden knowledge that most of the budget large diaphragm condensers are made in two Chinese factories. But I think I've picked up on something or need more sleep.
