No reviews yet eh? I am in the market for this as my new internally mounted kick mic for touring. I wanted the e60 to replace my Shure PG56.

Is anyone familiar with this mic?

I just bought one for $20. Ill let you know what I think when it comes in.

Quality: 9
This mic is built like a tank and sounds better than my MXL 990, 604, and other sub $100 sdc's I've tried on acoustics. All metal construction and conveniently designed to easily position. I have only tried recording acoustics with it thus far, and for that it does the job rather nicely for the price.

Reliability: 10
Like I said, all metal, weighs a ton for the size. I don't know how you can break it. Would not be afraid to use this live at all.

Overall Rating: 9
For what I paid, and for what you can find these for, I really think they are a great value. Much better than most Samson, Nady, Behringer ect. I paid $20 for it, but would pay more to replace it if it were lost or i somehow (don't know how...)broke it.

Sweet, do you think you'll get a chance to try it on snare drum? Where did you get one for $20, and are there more??

If you look on ebay, and be patient, something should pop up. I really got lucky I guess, but I would pay more for these, they are good. I do not record drums live or in studio (if I can even call it that ) unfortunately. I mainly use samples for my drum sounds, as I don't play them and I don't have a good room to record them in (Brandon's new KHR book has a lot of good advice on making samples sound better too, so I may never record drums now, can't justify it for a small home studio ). So since I haven't directly tried and have no experience with this I don't want to give you any false advice. I think I will try it on electric soon though.
