Used as an overhead for Young the Giant, as stated by producer Joe Chiccarelli in this April 26, 2016 ProSoundWeb interview and this identical April 27, 2016 article by Manley.

“I have a Manley Gold Reference tube mic and two Reference Cardioid tube mics,” Chiccarelli relates. “The Reference Cardioid is my go-to mic for drum overheads. I’ve used them on drums in every session at Sunset Sound in the past three or four years. I used the Reference Cardioid on drums for Jason Mraz, Christina Perri, Alanis Morissette, Morrissey, Divine Fits, Young the Giant-pretty much anything I’ve done here. They are always my first choice for drums.”

Used for the hi-hats on the Young the Giant Tour, as is visible in this May 30, 2011 photo of Comtois.
