Oktava is the best mic on the budget for sure. No high end hype, extended low end, and their capsule extensions are just superb. I have 4 cardioid of those, 2 sticks I use with omni capsules and 2 more hyper capsules which are great for acoustics. Best deal in the world
I really liked the Lewitt pair, really crisp highs and nice snare nuances. I got the NT5 set a few years ago but actually have not many occasions to use them. Still nice to have, they still compare quite good in the tested field and still have a good price value. Nice grooves as always, really spices up the videos even more! :)
Thanks for demo'ing all the mics, Simon. The Lewitt's definitely had a little more of the detailed/accentuated high end I was looking for. After watching this video, I ended up ordering a pair of the Lewitt LCT 040's. I can't wait to try them out on my hand drums.
The winner for me is the Rode NT5. Don't know what it is, but compared to others its the most balanced and warm-sounding pair. Love these kind of videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this video. Great overall quality (and offering the audio files to download it's a huge advantage). The only thing I'd change is the fact that you are constantly changing the drums groove, which makes it almost impossible to make a thorough A/B listening. Yet, one of the most useful videos I found on these mics. Thanks again
I’ve had the M5s for years and they work so well for drum overheads specifically. But I am realizing that they can be the slightest bit thin/hollow sounding
Was thinking the same thing brother. Which I’m gonna look into both a little further because I was set on the Lewitt but the NT5 might sound a tad clearer in my opinion. Any thoughts?
Great comparison, Simon. Lewitt sounds great, and for some reason I really like Oktava. I guess they both could be very useful depending on what kind of sound you're trying to get.
@@ThomannsDrumBash You got it man! Can I ask a question? The video was awesome but it was a bit confusing with the comment about adding low end. Was that an eq thing or did you add a mic to the kick drum? How much did that effect the sound? I wanna know how the overheads sound alone. Thanks!
Hi @@kidamazed In the video we added a kick drum mic to the overhead signal but you can download the individual mic tracks (without the kick mic signal) out of the video description to get a better picture of the overhead‘s sound. //Simon
Awesome video! I just picked up the Lewitt LCT 040 matched pair and couldn't be happier. Question: what is that stack you're using near the floor tom? Looks like a 16" K EFX on top, but what's beneath it? I'm a huge stack enthusiast and love the way it sounds!
The Tbone don't sound "bad" but they lack some definition and dynamics... For a full miked drum kit, i'd go with the Lewitts cos the shine is really beautiful, if I'd have only snare/BD/overhead mics I'd go with the Rode NT5s that are more balanced Also if I'd need a warmer overall sound and to catch more toms, I'd go with a pair of large condenser mics like AKG C3000, it can be surprisingly good!
Hi Chacal. I was pretty surprised about the t.bones as well. Big fan of the lewitt cause of their brilliance and punch. Unfortunately never had the chance to try the AKGs. //Simon
Nice! You didnt lie when you said that there would be more gear videos! I especially like this because i could really use some better overheads as well
@@ThomannsDrumBash great video! please do an update, add the se7 and the se8 in the equation. i'm looking on these two pairs, can't find anything for the se7 on youtube. I think se8 is the winner for little more money. I'd love to hear what you think.
Important how to use or for what. And how many other mics you will use...If you will use only a few mics you´ll need good overheads with full body spectrum with low mids... like NT5...BUT if you´ll use mics on each drum, the LEWITs are perfect choice because of BRILLIANT HIGHS and if you are interested in brilliant cymbals with nice stereo sound with glossy highs and crispy punchy sound, you will love them....and for low mids you will use mics on each drum and you will get perfect full spectrum sound with bottoms and grispy cymbal highs....
I've been trying a few different cheaper to midrange pencil mics for my location recording backpack (it does up to 10 channels for live music live videos... so not a lot of channels to play with but enough to cope with solo/duos, small bands and midsized bands.... that being said it ALL fits into one backpack (so recorder (Zoom H8 with the extender pod), all the mics, accessories, clips, and 10 leads... so I have been looking for a small overhead.. and preferably an omni directional so the overhead only eats one channel... (don't run stereo)... have used some pencil condensers the same way... But found Sonorous Objects - Mic company out of NYC, USA and bought their SO.104, Ultrasonic Omnidirectional electret... and is tiny!.. .been testing it with a few drummers I know.. and it has been working very well as a mono overhead. You could also buy 2 and have wider stereo OHs... And they are cheap, I got mine for $110.70 (Australian Dollars, on special... normally $124 AUD [$74.55 Euros]) and sound very good, lots of crisp highs, and open middle, and surprisingly quite a lot of bottom end too.
The best highs are from the Oktava and the t.bone, they sound more expensive. All the others sound harsh and cheap. The t.bone lacks a bit of detail. The Lewitt, though a bit more detailed, makes the crash and hi-hat sound terribly harsh. Overall, the Oktava is the best, no doubt about it. But I'd still pick the t.bone over any of the other Rodes or the Lewitt, any day.
Terrific shootout! I've been interested in the Rode NT5's and you provided a great opportunity to hear them. Thanks so much! Did you say you were using a separate preamp with them? If so, which one?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do an overhead shootout using only dynamic mics. (Such as, but not limited to....) Heil PR31-BW Rode podmic SM57 SM7B And/or any other dynamic mic you have on hand. Im subscribing now! You are a fantastic drummer.
Hi. Honestly can‘t tell you the exact height. I think it was about one and a half arm length on top of the cymbals. And we used the AB stereo method. //Simon
hello simon i am playing irish tradd music on the fiddle and also a singer ang guitare player .. i was intrested in you mic demo because i am looking for mics to record trikky irish pickink tunes on the guitare on this rang of price ( tony mac manus style ) if you ve got any advice .. regard john
Yeah, he explains around 1:38 that you are listening to the overheads, plus a bass drum mic. There would never be this much bass drum sound from the overheads alone.
@@ThomannsDrumBash Thanks! I'm really struggling to pick a set of small diaphragm condenser mics. I will be using them on acoustic guitar, upright piano and as overheads on a drumkit. What mics would you recommend (maybe even mics that aren't in this video)? I'm a bit concerned about the brilliance/presence in the Lewitt microphones, but I should say on your drumkit it sounds great. I find it hard to choose a set of mics from just youtube videos. The Rode NT5's do sound a bit more balanced, but maybe it lacks the hype of the lewitt mics. And to be perfectly honest, I'm a bit biased by the size of the Lewitt mics, they're so small haha
Hey Thomas. Sorry for the late reply. The Lewitt are pretty small but sound huge 😅 and your right, the nt5 sound a little bit more balanced but at the end it comes down to what kinda sound you like to achieve. From my personal experience I always add highs to the signal and take of a little bit of low mids so why not pick a mic that already does that...just a way of thinking but maybe that helps for your decision. //Simon
Hi Simon! Thanks for the video. I have a doubt. Im a looper-one-man-band Artist and I have bought the rode ntg2 because I had a dynamic mic (shure sm58 beta) but there is a lot of movements to adapt de mic to te different instruments that I use (percussion, guitar, flutes, singing bowls, voice...). I thougt that will be great to have a directional shotgun mic and bring the different instruments to the same área. But I have a problem now, the mic takes too much ambient noise and the feedback noise (excuse my english) appears soon on live performance. Do you know about some mic apropiate for my needs?
Hi! Yes I can. -10 and -20 is a pad which reduces the gain input lebe by 10 or 20 db. The one underneath is a low cut filter which means that you cut off either from 75 Hz or from 150 Hz. So everything underneath is cut off.
EDIT: Now that I listen back, the t-bone is actually pretty similar to the Oktava in that respect. And kind of has better transients... Super interesting how distinct they all are. The Lewitts are the clearest and most spacious on the highs for sure, but the Oktavas would be great in a situation where you don’t have a snare mic- It gives a lot of body and a balanced level to the snare, moreso than with the other more brilliant mics
have the t.bone... had the 040 matched... have a Se8 set and others... t.bone: ok for simple cymbal spot mics.. and snare.. for OH, transients are bad, and nasty highs, 040 sound awesome.. unfortunately VERY badly RF shielded (tried 3 pairs), if you room is well shielded and all phones are off: get them...
No idea why you added the low end back in from the kick... The whole point is to hear the natural response of these mics, including how little bass they pick up (which generally you don't want in OHs). It doesn't really give us an accurate reflection of how these will perform in the real world.
I acutally have a pair of the t.bone sc140.. they are amazing for the price! .. just for fun: I just tried running them through the Antares Mic Mod (Km184 (w)) and they sound stellar in the mix.
Lewit 040 unfortunately are extremely sensitive to electrical interference (mobile phones and computers and current not 100% stable).. tried 2 matched pairs... unbearable noise!... sad.. cause they sound AMAZING!... but cannot live with that sensitive mics.
would have helped to play the same beat and keep the same dynamics for each mic. playing the crashs hard on one pair and mellow on thenext brand makes the comparison almost useless, sorry

The Rode NT5 is like a well-balanced microphone. The NT5 microphone doesn't distort the sound, so I think it's so good.

Its too overhyped 5khz upwards
@@kimseniorb Exactly. Gets irritating and not pleasant. NT5 is in the middle and T.Bone and Oktava have the smoothest high end.

Thanks a lot, Daniel! //Simon
Lewitt. For me the best overall sound and best stereo picture in my opinion here. But yes, a hard decision to find the best here.
That stereo jumped into my face too!

A shame that you added that bass drum signal though. Now we have no idea what these mics sound like at the low end.
Yeah, this was my concern as well. And what does that mean anyways? Is it an extra mic or what? Confusing.
The best pair under 300 euros is Line Audio CM3/CM4. They sell directly to clients.
Really helpful! Would have been nice to hear Superlux S241too
To me if I have to use only those 2 mics to capture the drums the most complete and realistic sound would be the Rode NT5.
Hey Juan. NT5s are great mics. I like em too! Thanks for the feedback //Simon
T-bone is my favourite among these

The whole point is to hear the natural response of these mics, including how little bass they pick up (which generally you don't want in OHs). It doesn't really give us an accurate reflection of how these will perform in the real world.
None of those shot at me not enough low end im using 1 AKGP170 and it gives your more openish and more fuller fatter low end.
Keep the same performance for each mic please!
you've mislabelled the 4th mic as "Rode Oktava MK012". Oktava is its own brand, nothing to do with Rode.

Thanks for sharing.
Maybe next time repeat the same pattern for all mics???

Lewitt: Over hyped and harsh. No thank you...
