  • "Overhead mics are the most important weapons when it comes to capturing drum sounds - the foundation, so to speak. I have always preferred rather "full-sounding" overhead mics that give me the punch of the drums without too much harshness in the cymbals."

    — Kristian ‘Kohle’ Bonifer (Recording / Mixing Engineer, Producer)

  • "Those LDCs (large-diaphragm condensers) everybody seems to use have always been too thin and bright-sounding to my ears. So I have been using an old pair of AKG 414B-ULS for that purpose, until I discovered the VR ribbons."

    — Kristian ‘Kohle’ Bonifer (Recording / Mixing Engineer, Producer)

  • "They offer a beautifully relaxed picture of the whole kit. Big drums, smooth cymbals and a nice touch of the room. Compared to most condensers, they sound 'relaxed' - especially around 8kHz where cymbals can hurt your ears!"
