### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performing singing drummers get it

Best mic I ever used as a drummer

### ⭐ Would've been good, I guess
*by T***B on May 9, 2026*

Didn't really get a chance to use. I found out that I had to buy an adapter to boost the signal from the phantom power. It didn't come with it. I ended up returning and buying the Shure version. The Shure version came with the adapter for phantom power and I was very happy.
