MXL V67G vs RODE NT1-A (Drum Overhead Comparison)

[@JonathanGonzalez-tx5jy]

I've been thinking about using my old Rode NT1-A as a mono OH, this was just the video i needed to convince me to try it out. Thanks!

[@DonalBowens]

That's great to hear. Best of luck with it 😁

[@jsraudio]

Rode's definitely a lot cleaner in the high end, less smear, sweet comparison!

[@jungleman4238]

Rode is cleaner however the mxl has a 80s vibe to it.

[@benantell5452]

Cymbals are clearer on the mxl on AKG monitor headphones...

[@BreanndánÓMurchú]

The snare sounds much more free and open with the Rode.

[@pianovoix]

i agree and i wonder why , is it a good or a bad thing? i can also here more the sound of the room with the Rode

[@jeffsternon5062]

I like your snare sound ! Can you share what model you use and what heads you have on ? Thanks !

[@DonalBowens]

Thanks Jeff, it's a Pearl Sensitone Phosphor Bronze 14x6.5 snare and in this video I used an Aquarian Studio-X Texture Coated

[@jeffsternon5062]

@@DonalBowens Nice, thanks for the answer ! Is there a specific reason why you use a single ply head instead of a double ?

[@DonalBowens]

@@jeffsternon5062 I was just experimenting at the time to be honest. I generally avoid single ply because of the lack of durability these days though. Right now my favourite snare head is the remo p77. I also really like the remo controlled sound.

Thanks for the video ..would you pick the NT1 or NT1-A as an overhead mic for percussion/gongs drums etc ?

[@DonalBowens]

Never tried the NT1, but both would work great 👍

[@samgomu]

@@DonalBowens oh thanks! They say the A is good for percussion.. so just deciding which. Cheers T

0:06 and 0:46

[@pacificdrumma]

Mic on the kick? Or just the overhead?

[@DonalBowens]

Overhead only. Thanks

[@levibend]

Same sound

[@zyxwfish]
