Shure Mike's "Ultimate Drop Test"

Shure Associates Mike Lohman (Shure Mike) and Dave Mendez drop a SM58 and SM57 from several floors up at Shure Corporate Headquarters. Will they still work after all the abuse?

Anyone wondering how many they had to drop to get the desired result?

I think the 58 actually sounds better after the second drop!!!

@loftthebrit I've dropped this exact mic several times from ridiculous heights at school, and not once has it even dented or broken. I'm really impressed with how durable it is. This is probably the first try.

"nahh way to pretty" translates to roughly "Hell nah, this things gonna break to tiny bits and pieces if i do that" ?? haha

I've seen many episodes that basically prove that this Mic is VERY tough, though I would like to point out that I got a microphone just like this about two years ago, and in one and a half years time of having it, it stoped working. I found out recently that it was a problem with the wiring. I screwed off the top and the wires were disconnected. I have not done anything wrong for that to happen.
