Sennheiser E604 Review.
I have purchased these microphones before, having watched many in depth reviews on Youtube. The sound quality from these mics is second to none and very professional. They are small, compact and brilliant! The reason I chose these mics besides the sound quality is that they are small and fit on the toms perfectly, they attach to the hoop with an included clamp that fits tightly to the mic making a secure attachment to the drum. From such a trusted brand like Sennheiser I expected nothing less than perfect quality and that is what I have received.
I would strongly recommend these microphones to anyone looking to get a punchy booming sound from their drums! Thanks Thomann!

My go-to for Toms
I love these mics, they are my go-to mic for use on toms and have been for many years. I prefer them to more expensive mics like the Shure Beta 98s. I find they give me a more consistent sound than small condensers and they're so quick and easy to clamp on a tom. Very reliable clamp. Can also be screwed onto mic stand for use with cajon, etc

Great mic with great low end response
I have MD421 for a very long time, and well, for me this mic works well on the same level. Low end response is different, but I always have impression that E604 by default sits better in a mix. Of course both are great mics! Highly recomended!

A workhorse
Use them for rack toms. Easy, saves space and records nicely. Them being hyper cardiod does help with the bleed too.
Bargain, convenient and nice sound.

Small but perfectly formed!
Having both read various reviews of different mic options in the Eur100 budget mark and taken guidance from experienced live tour engineers, I opted for three of these mics for 2 rack and a floor tom.
The combination of a solid, predictable sound from a very modestly sized mic together with a simple, robust clip on attachment makes for a winning combination at the price.
The build quality is impressive too - although only a dozen or so shows old, a couple of them are bearing tiny stick marks from wayward drummers (!) but their performance is unaffected.
I've no previous experiences with alternative options to offer by way of comparison but as a newcomer I'd highly recommend these mics as a great starting point for live drum sounds!

The classic Tom Mic
The sennheiser E604 is the classic tom tom microphone.
The sound of the 604 is clear, crisp and big, probably due to the proximity effect of the dynamic capsule.
The best thing about the e604 is however the clip! It's well-design and robust making it super easy to place it on the majority of toms with a metallic hoop.
Also, since its made of very robust plastic it can take a it, which is probably to happen since their proximity to a drummers sticks.
There are mics that sound better but for just for the practicality and lifespan of the 604 it totally deserves a place in any tech/drummer mic bag.

Plug-n-Play Favourites
Wonderful, robust mics that are a breeze to setup. The sound check usually lasts 5 minutes with them. And the drum set always sounds beefy and warm. The 600's are rightfully a frequent choice of many sound engineers. Best -buy

Excellent
This is just a perfect tom microphone. They just sound great even on a really bad drum kit. They have been hit many many times with drumsticks at full blow and no change in integrity or sound. They can be set in any sane angle, they even clamp on unusual drum hoops (e.g. Amati) and it has cable management. I can only recommend it.

Never let you down!
These are my go to microphones for snare miking. I'm not really a fan of the supplied rim clamp, but that's just really a question of preference and not me saying it's useless. When miking toms, snare and bass drum beater side this is my go to microphone.

Great little mic
Ive been playing Irish bodhran drums for a long time and trying different types of mics but with no success until I came across this little mic that works superbly and has great bass as well as high tones.
