[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 40161, member: 32"] Re: Audix D2/D4 vs. Sennheiser e904 for Toms You're probably fine where you are if the D-series is working for you. My biggest beef with the D-series was the clips, and their inability to hold up to...well, just about anything. I could look at them the wrong way and they'd snap. With the Sennheiser to Sennheiser comparison, for my application the 604 to 904 jump was fairly sizable. I don't know if it has to do with the plastic vs metal housing, slight variance in frequency response, etc., but I definitely noticed a positive difference. The only real complaint I have with them is that the clamp doesn't do well with RIMS mounts on drums, but I keep a few extra LP Claws for those purposes. I will say that I've started going back to 421's for toms, especially floor toms, but 95% of the time I'm fortunate enough to work with drummers that can play (and tune!) and won't smack the mics.
