    I used these mics back in the uk and ive always wanted to replace my sm57s


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I started out with a beta 58a and it does a great job but the length of the mic plus the cable means im constantly hitting hit with my sticks and having to play around it to get to my toms


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive tried all sorts of headworm microphones and they have all been total failures way too 34live34 and breathy and none of them will stay on your head while youre drumming


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had given up and gone back to the beta 58a and was miserable but less miserable than with the head mics


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A few weeks ago i saw a drummer in a live performance on tv using what appeared to be a stubby mic with a rightangle bend in it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I went to my local music store and the pro audio guy said it sounded like a beta 56a 34instrument mic34


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I use a springarm mic holder mounted to my rack and with the lengthweight of the 58a the mic would bounce around and bash me in the teethlips but the 56a has less of a 34lever action34 being so compact and so the bounce has gone away


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also i had to put the 34wrong34 angle on the 58a to keep the cord out of my way but with the 90 degree connector on the 56a i can get it right up where i need it
