"Sontronics mics were suggested to me by my friend Mike 'Fish' Herring who's a big fan of your guitar mics. On his recommendation I bought the drum mics – DM-1B on kick, DM-1S on snare, DM-1Ts on my toms – and a pair of ORPHEUS as overheads for the cymbals. My first impression was that they sounded great, right out of the box, with no need to add any EQ. They truly captured what my drums sounded like in the room without any need for enhancement. Not to mention the fact that they look very sharp as well! Everyone who visits my studio comments on them first thing.
"So far I have used the mics for recording projects with The Offspring and Operation MD, as well as for recording instructional videos for my drum lesson website www.drumbunker.com
"The results have been amazing. I'm recording in a fairly small room and these mics capture the sound of the drums with all the punch and clarity that I need. The detail of the close mics is incredible and the ORPHEUS condensers capture the scope of the entire kit perfectly.
"The design is really great. They've taken a few direct hits from my sticks without any problems and their size makes it very convenient to place them anywhere I need to. They came packed securely and the wooden boxes for ORPHEUS and flightcase for DM-1B were a nice touch. The customer support is outstanding – they're a great company. I am always interested in what they will come up with next! The drum package has been simply outstanding."
