Thom Green

Used live, as mentioned by alt-J's FOH engineer Lance Reynolds on his official sE Electronics artist page.

"For alt-J, I use the sE4400a on drums. Though it may look like I'm merely mic'ing the tambourine, the 4400a offers a nice picture of the entire drum kit, adding depth and clarity with smooth high frequencies."

Used live for the glockenspiel, as mentioned by alt-J's FOH engineer Lance Reynolds in this December 16, 2013 sE Electronics blog post.

The sE4 small diaphragm instrument microphone also demonstrated its value on Alt-J's U.S. jaunt in August and September. "We have a couple of toy glockenspiels, and I used two of them on those, and they were nice. I've also tried those on hats and overheads, and they're perfectly fine for those, too."

Reynolds later switched Green to the sE5.

"I’m using e904’s on toms, e905’s on the cow bells and everything’s close mic’d so there are no overheads. Each element has got its own mic so I can get some good separation," says Alt-J's sound engineer, about recording Thom Green's drums, in this article.

Used live for the bass drum, as mentioned by alt-J's FOH engineer Lance Reynolds on his official sE Electronics artist page.

"The toy glockenspiel is mic'd with an sE5, capturing a nice twinkle. And I'm using an sE1a on the snare bottom. A condenser may seem like an odd choice for such a loud source, but it produces an interesting voice that you wouldn't get from a dynamic mic. It does take a beating, but so far it has held up well."

Used live as an overhead mic, as mentioned by alt-J's FOH engineer Lance Reynolds on his official sE Electronics artist page.

"I also keep an sEX1 in my mic box...as a sort of "Swiss Army" mic. I've used it on guitar cabs, bass cabs, drum overheads, audience...it works on just about everything."
