These little mics are tough and the clips included are thick plastic and can stand the test of time. They are definitely made to take hits from drums sticks and only suffer a few minor bruises. We all know how crazy drummers can get!

These mics are very convenient and clip right onto toms, snare, congas, ect; They have a pretty good response and ton on toms smaller than right around 14'; These are great in live situations, especially for venues that will change drum kits 4 times a night - easy to take down and set up - no mic...

These mics lack low end definition making them not so good for studio application; They also tend to pick up a long of vibration from the rims and have a rather high self-noise; Great live, though

The Sennheiser E604 Is a great mic for Tom drums which is what they are purpose built for.

Rugged Relatively small Sound great for drums

I bought the 3 pack and they came with the clips that fit my drum rims great. They sound awesome for the live playing that I do. I have had these for about a month and there great mics so far.

Just to add to the conversation with something different-- I absolutely love the sound I get from these mics on hand percussion. I use these guys on bongos, congas, djembe, front of a cajon... Picks up the nuisances of the percussionist very well in live performances without feedback issues.

There is no such thing as a mic that works for everything every time, however the e604 seems to be the nearly perfect rack tom mic. It has great attack and reproduces the varying sounds of toms faithfully. I still prefer the Audix D4 on deep floor toms.

I picked up a 3 pack of the 604's thinking it would be a great solution to mic placement on drums AND the great Sennheiser sound I've come to know and love over the last 20 years. Well, after "test driving" them both live and in the studio I'm afraid they aren't all I'd hoped for.

Using this mic on the Tom Drums. Excellent sound and easy to installed.

The Sennheiser E 604 is a dynamic microphone that you can place on the inside of a piano or even on the floor. Its design is unique and allows it to pick up a great deal of specific sound.

Great mic. Very sturdy and not afraid of it breaking. It can take a stick hit or two and still be very intact. The sound you get from it is amazing!

Durable; compact
