mervaka Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 not bad for the money. however I'd drown the edge of the grille with superglue, as they fall out rather easily. the box also falls apart in months. the BD200 kick mic is crap however.

paulears Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The CD-55s are excellent, and have been mentioned on here in the Yoga original manufactured form, sold by CPC - a topic covered just a day or two ago - but I can't find it at the mo. They are brilliant, good sounding, very, very tough and cheap. However - price wise, the Thomann kit includes a bass drum mic and a case - and you can't beat this for the price. Can't say for the kick drum mic, but the others I can recommend as a user for many years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolley1466 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Just saw these. Okay not a microphone but still a cheap version of an accessory that always seems to cost too much! Does anybody know how sturdy they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 They are the one fitted as standard to the mics we're talking about. The clamping faces are parallel, so are a stable and solid fit on any drum rim that has a bit of depth and matching faces. It seems to work fine on the common Premier, Pearl, DW and Yamahas I've tried, plus the unbranded beginners kits. I had problems on an old Gretsch (sp??) kit that had very shallow rims that were almost all curved, being practically a semi-circle in cross section with no parallel faces. On these, they fall off!

the kid Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I am actually planning on using the BD200 as the SURE or AKG mic's I was planning for the kick have been reclaimed. I will try and hunt the topic tomorrow but will the 55's be ok for overheads or only close range work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervaka Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I myself use the thomann EM800s for overheads. brilliant mics for their price. bought them after recommendation from here. EDIT: just realised how old this thread is, and that I'm reiterating what I said two years ago. my expectations have probably risen since then!
