Brilliant for close cymbal miking
Very Compact condenser mic.
We have a clear sonic drum booth with roof and these akg c430 mics are great for that Environment. They don't take up much space and produce really good results when used close to hihats, and ride cymbals. Use slightly further away for crash cymbals but not too far away as the sound reflections from the booth panels cause problems at the sound desk.

Great entry level mics for overhead or hat use
These mics are an excellent entry point for those who are on a budget and want a inexpensive pair of small diaphragm condensers that will give you great value for money.
I've used them primarily as a pair of overhead mics but have also been more than happy with their performance on hi hats.

A good mic
I use four of these as cymbal mics, they’re very nice and discrete, small etc. They sound perfectly ok for live use. The clips aren’t as good as the old AKG ones, they’re a bit flimsy. Doesn’t really fit in the pouch easily without taking the windshield out the pouch. Mic build quality is plastic but seems just fine.
