The guy playing the kit looks a bit like Bon Ivers drummer.

@DRUMAdam91 That's because it IS Bon Ivers drummer, Matt McCaughan !

That Kick sounds NIIIICE

@trugangsta4real Thanks... totally unprocessed- that's just the raw sound.

I watch this video at least once a month. Great mike placement and the drummer is just flawless. Tons of style and groove, but not he's not showy. This is a perfect microphone review video, and one day I hope to have the bills to pick up my own Neumann set. Thanks for the upload!

@soundpurestudios Ha I knew it!

@nooneimportant77 Just liked it better with this particular setup... nothing beyond that. Thanks for the question

[nooneimportant77]

@soundpurestudios Thanks. I've got both, I was just wondering if you thought anything stood out about the 609, making you choose it.

[soundpurestudios]

@nooneimportant77 It really depends on the snare. We do a lot of different mic setups and vary the mics we used based on the sounds coming out of the individual snare drum, and blending the snare microphone with the sound of the overheads. For us, having a variety of mics to choose from is essential... in terms of less expensive solutions, the SM57 may be a more popular first choice, but the 609 is a great alternative flavor/option.

[nooneimportant77]

how do you like the 609 on the snare?
