Little tip is to buy those small cable ties and slip them through the opening on the clip! It works. Google that to see a picture of what I’m talking about. Mine never fall off the clips anymore.
mics' heads are crossed by ride's edge. This is why they bleed so unnatural. I guess the direction and height of mics should be different in this case.
There’s definitely no perfect way to test this - everyone arranges their cymbals and Toms and mics differently. This test may or may not be helpful to you, and that’s ok if not!
The Recording Lounge yes, but if we wanna compare bleeding, we should arrange it to sound like on the record, right? Everyone tries to make it sound good, so why we compare those bleedings with wrong mics setting? I would love to hear natural bleed of both mics without those phase shifting 10 times on each cymbal hit... Hope you got me right.
Greetings Kendal, on one of your podcast episodes you made mention of a rack mount step attenuator volume control that i can't recall the name of or find the episode in question. Would you be so kind as refresh my memory of that unit you mentioned. Thank you.
The bleed from 181 is more useable. I dont gate somtimes and condenser mics tend to have more natural bleed even after compression.
I use the 181s more often myself. I like things about the 421, but I tend to prefer the 181 overall. I also don’t gate Toms!
2:41 there is some cool phasing happening here
You don't like the 421s ballistic, push button release?🙂
LOL
I once put 3 on a set of toms... without fail, every single one popped out & hit the floor

just buy a bigger standard mic clip. mine never fall out

It was probably the Dangerous Monitor ST. It’s what I use in my studio and have for probably 7 years now! I love it!
Interesting test. I would never put a mic with the cymbal moving across is like that. The phasing is like an FX :)
The 421 is too far away from the drum. It should be 2 inches max from the head, also increasing proximity effect and making it the perfect Tom mic.
Sorry but if you're comparing 2 mics, they need to be the closest possible to each other. The right side is not properly tuned.
The tom is out of tune. You can hear how pitch change when You hit the tom.
I actually like a little bit of pitch bend on my Toms. Some people don’t, though. That’s ok too!
@@RecordingLounge you've got the resonant tuned a little bit lower right?
