Hw many of you record with the new RODE microphones? I record with it a couple of weeks ago, and they are the only microphones you ever will be needing, believe me, the are amazing. Very transparent and a very fat sound, amazing microphones, I'm thiking buying a geat set for me.
VInnie uses them. Go to their website and check the audio demos, he plays on most of them.

in-the-pocket,
Which Rode mics did you use and on what drums/cymbals. Also any chance of posting a clip of the recording so we could hear these mics?
Thanks!
Still using my:
A] Shure SM57s / MayEA "cutoffs" ["half"-mics pro-mounted inside each shell] for sn & toms [img]redface.gif[/img] , & the AKG-D/112 "football," both of which came w the purchase of the Gretsch acoustic kit, back end of '85
B] whatever the soundman/company provides
or
B] An electronic set [no mics at all] ;c)
They still work well, so I'm [still] saving a "little" $ on da situation... [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
[But those Rodes [AWA those others] sure look [& sound] enticing]

i used a Rode mic to record a vocal earlier today ..a really impressive bit of kit and very easy to recommend anything Rode after that.
I remember that years ago my guitarist bought an amazing pair of Rode NT-1's and they were the most amazing overheads I have ever heard.
We turned one of the mics on as it was raining outside (we were inside, of course) and just listened to the rain falling onto the roof - IT SOUNDED HUGE! Imagine if your hearing was to improve 10x - that's what this was like!
I borrowed them for a session and it they were sweet - didn't even need to mic the toms at all!
Hey Randy and all,
What Studio Projects mikes do you use? What do you use as overheads. I have a lot of mikes already (SM57's AKG C418's, AKG D112, SM 98, PEAVEY 408, and others) but want to get a Audix D6 for kick and was thinking of Rode NT1A's for overheads. I figure I might as well ask these questions here.
Brad
The D6 is a great little mic.
As for studio projects, I have used and still use the C1 and the C3 as overs and they are very clean and clear sounding.
when I have to record over at a friends place I usualy bring my mics and use these as overs, we set up in his entry way which is tiled and get a really nice sound.http://www.studioprojects.com/why.html

They are good, but so are Studio Projects which are in the same price range.
I have nt 1000 on toms and ntk as overheads.
Love them!
