Gretsch Renown Snare

Tiffen is a renown and long established manufacturer of filters and has generally delivered quality filters.

Not much to say...a quality product from a renown manufacturer. A good all purpose filter that will keep you from flinching when inquiring little fingers are around.

I have a bunch. Snare, toms, guitar, etc. Great every time

Great stand, great price! Perfect for kick and snare mics.

generally use it to mic the top of a snare drum with no worries of it being hit by a drumstick

The i5 is great on guitar cab and snare...The SM57 is warmer, but if you need a brighter tone... This is it!

Best snare mic I have used so far! There is a lot more bottom than with my B56a. Used it on vocals also and it's great! Looking to try it on guitar amp soon. It's kind of a go-to mic, just like a 57, but with something more, probably due to its large-diaphragm. Check the review on Recordinghacks! Be aware that you better use it on a stand tho, there's a lot of handling noise. For less handling noise, check out the pr-22.

Yes, it sounds amazing. The snare is not the 808 snare, but you can get some really cool sounds out of it, especially with the stutter. I usually layer it with the clap, which you can tune via PCM, and it sounds outstanding, so I am not modding it. Don't get bogged down in snaresville, this thing has a huge kick drum, stutter feature, amazing step jumping, a ribbon controller, it syncs to your DAW's external clock, and it has live motion and stutter recording. Believe me when I say it's worth every penny, even if you end up using a different drum machine, this thing is a mini beast and so fun!

this mic does a great job on the bottom side of the snare. Nice crisp high end, nice mids. Sounds better than the small condenser mic we were using.

Not too much to say about, you just can go wrong with the industry standard. I got this to upgrade my old AKG D22 to use with my snare drum in my home studio
