Reggaeton Percussion Instrumentation

I am a drummer and bought two of these mics for my overhead mic setup. They pick up the instrumentation very well...better than I thought. No tom mics, just snare, bass drum mics and overheads for the recording I was doing and the final product came out very well.

the E-Percussion Module Mount by Alesis is the perfect part i was looking for....

No big deal, but the instrumentation of this item can be intimidating. Once set up with a bit of patience it works well. As my kids realized the planet does not stay still.

I can finally hear the voices on documentaries. The foreground music and drama percussion would drown it out.

I am using this mic for vocals and handheld percussion. It is fantastic. But be careful not to overdrive it, as it is very sensitive.

I use for orchestra percussion overhead and that do a great job bringing in everything from xylophone to triangle

In my project studio I record various acoustic instruments such as guitar, upright bass and violin. I also record vocals and various hand percussion. I have traditionally used small condensers such as Neumann KM 184's and AKG C451-B's but was craving the sound that only a large diaphragm can deliver. I love AKG products especially those built in Vienna. So far have only used the 214 on vocals, acoustic guitar and middle eastern percussion and it more than met my expectations. I love the AKG sound. To me AKG's are not as transparent as Neumann BUT that is what I dig about it..it brings a bit of color and an openness. At the price point..this is a must have mic..you can never go wrong with AKG

When the brass, woodwind and large percussion orchestra filled the 600 seat auditorium with raucous music for Honegger's King David, the speaking parts within our 100 member community chorus didn't stand a chance of being heard. All our funds had been spent on orchestra and soloists. But the hall had a sound system, and I had a guiet old field mixer. I also had experience with a predecessor of the OLM-10. I took a chance and ordered six. For less than $150, they delivered excellent sound from voices among the singers. The omnidirectional pattern made for evenness with untrained performers. Their self-powering and 20' cords made hook-up very easy. Congratulations Pearstone!

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

Without the Five's we could not get the music to the right level to hear while playing along. With a pair of Five's and a Move, we have had seven people playing different percussion instruments (Drum Kit, Congos, Cajon, Tambourine, Clives, Wood Block, Bongos... ) and still hear the music.
