Another Stupid Deal

Re: Topic swerved caused by lyrics quotation

I've been using mine off and on for some time now. The PL35 are very good on toms. I have not used them on a snare as of yet. Might be a little too dark for me. They do sound thick on toms. I find a tight Q parametric around 350 to 450 hz with a 6-8 db cut , depending on the drum and the rest flat seems to do a good job.
The PL33 sounds a lot better than I thought it would. I use it on the beater side with an Audix D6 on the front. I did notice no phase reversal is needed in this setup where as it is needed with other microphones used on the beater side.
Over all happy with them. Sound fine.

Anyone else find the clips don't fit their rims. I've got a nice old 60's kit but the rims are too thick.

Mark, they've fit most of the drums I've encountered so far except for one kit.

It was a fairly new kit but had wooden rims about two and a half inches thick. (Not sure of the manufacturer.) No way of mounting anything on those drums.

Plan B was putting them on stands and going that route. It was a beautiful drumkit BTW. Wish I could remember who made them...

Mine were too stiff to fit any rims, so I replaced the clips with the Audix DVICE mounts. They've worked great for me (and still fit in the factory EV mic bags.)

They are much stiffer than the ones that come with the Sennheiser e604's.

Milt, how does the gooseneck hold up on the D-Vice mounts? Are they pretty durable?

Re: Another Stupid Deal

I found I had better luck putting the Top on first then putting the bottom on. Seemed to go on much better. Give that a try if your having trouble putting them on.

Re: Another Stupid Deal

I'm sorry, but the D-vice is about the worst rim-mount out there. The best of this type is made by shure. http://store.shure.com/store/shure/en_US/pd/productID.104213300

It has a pretty big jaw that even works with "rims" mounts and has a nice 45 degree-ish angle to it with a long groove so you can fine tune how close you want the mic. It's built to hold 57's so it's fairly strong too. Not difficult to mount, but stiff enough that you don't worry about it either.



However, the absolute best rim mount anywhere is the older one-knob LP claw. You can clamp it to anything and position the mic anywhere with it.
