Members Rob_H Posted April 1, 2013 Members Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has used these drum mics and had any opinions? I can get a good price on them today but have had 0 experience with them. Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bobby1Note Posted April 1, 2013 Members Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have both, but haven't used the N/D 868 yet.I bought a few of the EV PL-series drum-mic kits,,, the 7pc kit with a PL-33 (kick) four PL-35's (toms/snare), and a pair of PL-37's for o'heads.,,,, and I also bought the 5pc kit ( 1 PL-33 and 4 PL-35's). With the PL-33's, I got a very good kick sound, right out of the box, and I've been quite happy with the PL-35's as well.A few years back, they were giving these things away. MF had them on their Stupid-Deal-Of-The-Day for $99 I believe (5pc kit). The 7pc kit, last time I looked, was going for $649.The N/D868 seems to get some very good reviews for kick, as well as bass-cabs. I've also got a Senn 900-series kit (e902's (kick), 904's (toms) /,e905 (snare) w AKG C-451b's for o'heads, which I bought for studio use..

Members RoadRanger Posted April 1, 2013 Members Share Posted April 1, 2013 I bought two of the 5 piece sets when on sale. With minimal effort you can get them all into one case. I think they sound fine but what do I know - I think my cheap Nady drum mics are fine too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted April 1, 2013 Members Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've got an 868, nice mic. I prefer it over my PR40 for some things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dookietwo Posted April 1, 2013 Members Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've been using the PL35 on toms with the PL33 on floor for some time now. With a tight Q pull around 350hz on the toms and 320hz on the floor and they are good to go.The drum mount is very sturdy but hard to put on some kits. I've thought about using a dremel on them for some time but have not as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
