Earthworks DM6 - the best new kick mic?

‪@EarthworksAudio‬ have a new kick mic out, the DM6. We put it through it's paces and found out how it compares to industry standard kick mics, with a floor tom test as well for good measure!

Thanks to Callum Edwards for letting me use his mics and studio at Brookwood Recording in Glasgow.
