Came for the mic comparison. Stayed for the killer drum solo

[welkerroad]

Great video! Love the overhead layout and imagery of the mics (and of course the awesome drumming)! Thank you

[treflip]

to me the Shures have a more natural less boomy sound, but they still capture the highs, mids, and lows perfectly. Shure ftw

[DMKahn]

A mixture of the 2 is the best. 52 kick, 57 snare, f10 on toms. either OH mic are great

[Bracero]

I bought the fusion kit years ago and every mic stopped working eventually. I opened them up to see the solder came undone. I bought the Shure set and they still work to this day, great demo!

[poorkidd]

Wow I know now why the SM57 is the snare microphone of choice.

[jasonmusic]

both are awesome, i like the shure for the punchiness and probably sits in a full band mix a little better but lacks the warmth and low end the audix had, hard to say which is better

[DMKahn]

That cymbal with the rivets sounds so good :)

[giovannigutierrez]

A mi gusto prefiero shure, por su excepcional claridad y sonido plano y natural, en el caso de audix de entrada parece q fuera mucho mejor por que su sonido ya biene predefinido o mas ajustado, cosa q no esta mal para muchos, pero en ni caso si prefiero un mic lo mas plano y natural posible y con un poco de ecualizacion y proceso puefo lkegar a sonar como quiero, caso contrario me pasaria con el audix que ya estoy limitado por su sonido preajustado de fabrica, y resulta mucho mas complejo manipular su respuesta de sonido

Its time everyone just admits what we've known for 50 years. Nothing beats a Shure mic. Especially the 57s

[gobeco]

+1 for Audix set, more open and dynamic. More bass and punch on the kick.

[georgesnow]

The comparison for the shure kit should be with the DP7 pack (D6, i5, ADX51). The Fusion kit would be more comparable to the shure PGA kit

[dilankarun]

Audix F series is a good budget set of mics. The SM57-52 is just awesome (And not too expensive either). I've used the SM-81 as a hi-hat mic. They are pretty expensive at almost $400 a piece. But I might just buy another and try them as over-heads😛. Really good drummer. Nice 😉

[cornistaken]

Man! Audix sounds very good at low end.(floor tom) and so as sm57 for the snare. Both great sounding mics. I love them both.

[christanehrhart]

What a fucking legend at tuning drums oml

[simeonwalther]

Nice Drumming! great sound quality too!

[chrispagella]

That fusion kit was updated 8 years ago

[julian.borisov]

being half the price the Audix sound even better for some genres imo, more roomy and more focused on what they take in

[JonathanSanchezmusic]

I was comparing that too, can you please tell me what kinds of preamps did you use. i was using a apollo and xr18, but i didnt get that kind of sound with out efx.

[infinitysplitda]

Which Sabian ride is that? Sounds amazing, the bell especially. One of those rides that becomes the center of the kit
