In this video we are going to shoot-out 6 different small diaphragm pencil condenser microphones for use as drum overhead mics. The 6 mic we have to choose from are:
1) Vanguard Audio Labs V1 - https://www.vanguardaudiolabs.com/pro...
2) Sontronics STC-1S - https://www.sontronics.com/stc1s
3) Lewitt LCT 140 AIR - https://www.lewitt-audio.com/micropho...
4) JZ Microphones BT202 - https://intshop.jzmic.com/collections...
5) Shure KSM137 - https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/...
6) Slate Digital ML-2 - https://slatedigital.com/ml-2-microph...

All these mics sound great on their own or when combined with the rest of my drum mics but, which pair of SDPCs give the best overall tone, performance and in the end, bang for buck.

Please do let us know which mics you liked in the comments.
