I've been using the Audio-Technica pro 35 on my dobro for 10 years and purchased this one for a spare. I'm not sure I could make it without this mic. It also does a superb job on an upright bass. If you want absolutely clean sound you need this mic.

the clip is a bit small to clip on to most drums, and the signal is so hot that I often get feedback even when playing lightly and the gain all the way down. The low-end cut-off helps, but I am often looking to capture the lower end of doumbek, kanjira, pandeiro...so it is not ideal, but works fairly well if you keep the mic far away form the head.

While I am not a sound engineer, nor do I get too technical about the equipment I use, I do have some respect for the Audio Technica brand name. I bought this little microphone for a specific purpose, and that was to amplify an LP udu drum, which required two condenser microphones. I have found that the holes left in the clay drums are more often than not too small for this mic, however, with a little reaming using a small pen knife, I have been able to custom fit these units into the udu chambers. Most of the newer models have a recessed roll-off switch that drops the reception of lower frequencies to eliminate ambient noises, but with the mic installed internally, I have had no use for that switch. Removing the mic from the flexible arm and clip, I keep the pop screen on otherwise there is distortion from the air movement inside the drum's chamber. The newest design from AT for this Pro35 is the detachable end, which is a good idea since hooking up the instruments always requires untangling of wires, and the CE adapter is quite heavy. This microphone has been extremely useful to me in playing these unique African drums in concert. The sound quality is very high in my opinion, and the sensitivity of these condenser types are uncannily effective for my application. I have used the clip-on arm with an Egyptian jar drum, and this works well also. It is my understanding that these mics are useful for horns or any wind instrument with a bell, and I would like to try them on the rims of snare and tom drums, but haven't gotten around to that yet. For the price these sell even new, I can personally recommend this product for live or studio use to anyone who doesn't mind being restricted mobility wise by the very thin wires that could potentially be easily broken. Handled with care, these little gems should last a long time, hence my excellent rating.Read full review
I had the pleasure of working with these mics for 5+ yrs and for the money they cant be beat. I've used them for everything Drums/Percussion, Dbl Bass, Violins/Fiddles, Trumpets,Saxophones. and easily get a good sound with just a touch of eq depending on the instrument. I have heard ppl worry about the thin cable attachment. I have worked in live audio with the same set for yrs and currently they are ready for the windscreens to be replaced before any trouble with the cable. If your looking for a small clip on type mic for anything this is a no brainer in my book. Simply the best mic for the money.
The AT Pro 35 is a great multipurpose microphone, from fiddle and sax to drums. The listing for this mic said however that it has an on/off switch; not the case. It is a High Pass switch that is also good to have.
