you'd be amazed at how many records you've heard these on toms...nearly as ubiquitous as 57 on snare.

Yeah, toms, horns, guitar cab. I'm not the biggest fan for vocals, but is a standard in some radio circles, just like the re20.

i remember liking it a bit more than a 57 on the bottom of a snare, but it's perfect on toms.....my old boss used it on a cajon; this wooden box with a hole in it, it sounded great.

I finally got a chance to use it yesterday morning. You were right, dagosto; it's not quite voiced right for snare, but it sounds fantastic on floor toms. I get a great, sustaining BOOM BOOM BOOM without having a bunch of extra ride cymbal in that mic like what happens when I use a condenser.
