Happy New Year Everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a hi-hat mic? I've been using an SM-57 for many years, but I'm thinking of...
I used to use an SM57 for the hi-hat before I got into specific mics (AKG D112 for bass, Sennheiser E604's for Tom's, SM57 for Snare, etc.). However, I bought...
I have used Shure SM-81s for Hi-Hat as well as overheads for cymbals with good effect. I suggest that you make certain that the built in filter is set to the...
... AKG ... Either of those mics would be a very good choice for hihat. The SM81 in particular is a sort of standard hihat mic (as well as for drum overheads...
