Snare microphone shoot-out
I have been using the SM-57 on snare since 1988. About 4 years ago I switched to the Shure Beta 98 AMP for the compact "out of the way" factor, and I really liked the sound. Now I've been hearing some great things about the Audix i5. It takes up about the same real estate as the 57. Things are tight around my snare with the hats and a 10" tom 8" mini-timbale so mounting clearances are tough. What are your thoughts on these mics and others if you have a better choice? Thanks.
Cut it large and kick it into place!
