Excellent test, very well planned, produced, and performed. For me the M80 is the winner, however I found the Audix i5 surprising good. The 57 has very good body and attack. But the others have much more 'sizzle' which helps avoid the need for a bottom mic. Thanks!

I thought the 57 sounded a little more dead and flatter than either of the other two.

@@nathanhall4593 Agreed. I shouldn't have said the 57 had good 'attack', since all 3 mics have good attack. To me, the 57 has just a bit more midrange body, but it lacks the high end extension, so it sounds duller. Whereas the other two mics pick up the snares sound better, while still having good body. I used a 57 for decades, then tried a Beyer M201, which has better rejection of the hi hat, but is a flatter response with a bit less midrange 'smack'... I now use it on my hi hat where it is perfect. I ended up buying the Telefunken M80-SH for snare top, which is fairly pricey, but it's the best snare mic I've ever used.

Wow. The Tele sounded so much more open and alive compared to the Shure and Audix. Wasn't expecting that big of a difference.

Thanks for playing the entire kit around it. The Telefunken has a slightly nicer off-axis response to everything else. The kick bleed is actually useful in the mix, for example.

About to do some drum recordings and was wondering about SM57 or use my M80... I think the M80 is the clear winner!

I dunno guys, the M80 sounds a bit fake and sickening in the high end - the SM57 sounds super natural in this test to me - interesting comparison on the 'spill' from the hats and cymbals too - the SM57 still doing very well - the M80 has lots of bright cymbals in the mix here - I was hoping it would be better than that

Preferred the Telefunken in most cases, and for the really hard hitting stuff I felt the Audix added some nice presence to the snare. The SM57 definitely didn't win here!

Shure SM 57 sucks it here, while Audix sounds surprisingly good. Found this wild because in my own sound tests, I achieved a backward result. Regardless, the winner to me is the mic I own and was my permanent snare keeper....the Telefunken.

Curious, what kick mic eq and compression are you using? Sounds fat bro. Convinced on the m80

I'm using Audix D6 for Kick and in the final part I added a parallel compression on the drums and a "normal" plugin EQ, i don't remember which frequencies i boosted, about 60hz for low and 3500hz for high i think :)

To my ears the M80 blows the other two away. The Shure fully lived up to my previous opinion of it, from having owned one for years : it sucks. I’ve always found the SM57 to be utterly lifeless and dull; here it was the worst of the 3 in my opinion.

People won't be worshipping at the altar of the 57 in ten years. It's getting by on reputation (which is fine, don't get me wrong, it deserves such) and the fact that engineers know exactly what to expect. WORK FLOW. There are just so many better options now.

57 fits in the mix. I think people will still use spoons and forks in 10 years, even though they're old tech, because they do the job. The 57 does the job.

Yeah, I was going to say it seems that the M80 has more cymbal bleed. I love the sound, but if trying to isolate, that could be an issue

Which is strange to me because the m80 is hyper- cardioid. I would have though the other 2 mics would bleed a lot more than the m80!
