Vintage Kick Drum Microphone Shootout (AKG D12, Beyerdynamic M380, Electro Voice RE20)

Here's a kick microphone shootout between a 1950's AKG D12, early 1980's AKG D12E, mid 1980's Beyerdynamic M380, and a modern Electro Voice RE20. These microphones are classics on kick drum and a staple in many recording studios around the world. The prices of many of these microphones have been skyrocketing lately, so I wanted to make a comparison video to help you decide which is best for you. All of these microphones have been fully serviced and are perfect examples. My hope is that this video will not only help decide which you like best, but become a reference for when buying these classic microphones in the future.
