And after so many years. Audix D2 still the king for ALL TOM TOMS. D4 is a let down. AUDIX what happened there??? D4 on floor toms sounds thinner than the D2. So now I ignore the D4 and just use D2 on all percussion instruments no matter the size. Its the new swiss army knife in dynamic mics.

D6 or d4 are the best!

D2 built in Eq filters out everything. Love it.

For my tuning d6 on my floor toms d4 on racks audix definitely got it (out of the brands tested)

For the love of god, pleeeaaase, tune this floor tom up!!!! It is 14", not 18"!!!!

Now I know what to get for my congas d2

Thanks Robin - I really like the D2 on Small Toms, it captures the pitch change that occurs immediately after the hit. That said, I use a 421 on the Mid Toms exclusively (to be fair, you can put a 421 on anything...but mid size toms just call for it). I love the D4 on a floor, not so much on the small tom - but it would be OK. Rounding out I like the D6 on the Kick. BTW - Avantone's Mondo has a superb 4k beater click and worth a try for short money. I've never warmed up to the i9 - I know Clapton blends an it with an AT4047 on his amp, and you can certainly use it as a utility amp mic in a club - but definitely not on a tom.

Klingt alles gleich Ist zum Lachen. 😊 Kauf das billigste und spare Geld🤪

nenhuma diferença significativa.

Gracias por todo el trabajo de los microfonos 👍 me he decidido por las Audix D2

Audix D6 was best, Sennheiser e602 was a close second place. All the rest were colored too high in tonne.

All shures < 1x Audix

Wow that Sm57 is adding that 500 ~ 800 freq i always kill with EQ lol

the d2 blows all of these out of the water

D2 for sure

Saya suka yanf Audix D2

D2 nice for tom 👍

Eu Gostei mais do Audix D6

I'd personally choose to tune the tom first although it sounds fairly delightful under the D2 regardless.

nice drumming!! Can I get this song?

D2 is made for small toms. D4 for floor toms, D6 for bass drum, and they are fantastic. SM57 snare only.

Wow... the d2 sounded horrible on this tom... but was the best on your 8" tom.

1) D2 2) D6

D6 sounded best

well,the half of them are mics for kick,but i appreciate it ! good video :)

well,the D6 is for kick and for bass,sounds cool but i don´t recommend them on toms or snare :)

D2 sounded best. D4 was close. D6 is weird in the attack with such a small tom because the Peak is at like 7 or 8kHz. Didn't care too much for the others.

Beyer Dynamic M201

Audix D6 nice

D2 is the best 👌

SM57 and i5 sound quite natural with the room sneaking in there. D2 and D4 sound the best on this tom because of the pre EQ shaping. The higher frequencies and smallness of the 8" tom aren't a good match for the D6.

Shame that a sennheiser md421 wasn't used on this. Generally next to nobody uses SM57s on Toms. Would also like to hear an omni measurement mic in the same position.

Audix D6 ,and Senheiser my favorit.

I think I would buy the e602 because it’s a close second to the d6 and is like 150 cheaper

6:52 ---- 7:39 ---- 8:27 ---- 9:14 ---- 10:02 --- 10:49 --- 11:37 --- 12:24 ----

Not sure I get the logic of using an 8" tom for this test. These mics are 'specialist' mics for various parts of the drumkit (SM57 and i5 for snare, D2 for rack toms, D4 for floor tom, D6 for bass drum and ADX51 for overheads). A more 'middle of the road' size tom like a 12" or 14" tom would probably have given more nuance.

The D6 sounded best to me. I liked the dry sound. It sounded more controlled. My next choice would be the D2, and then the D4. But NONE of the others.

good from🇮🇩

Trying to test both mics and interface all in one round is definitely overambitious. The way the test was conducted and sequenced, I had trouble figuring out one interface from the other. Sorry I had to put thumbs down to this.

D2 kills it, so glad I just bought 3 for my 12" 14" toms and 14" Roto Tom, going for the D4 for floor

This was the perfect test for me, I needed to here the D6 / D4 / D2 comparison. Thanks so much - I love how the D4 pulls in enough low end but not too much.

Could you do this same test with a 10”, 12” and 16” floor tom?

D6 !

Qual a serie dessa pele? Ppr favor

Were these the hybrids? Or the regulars?

Is my channel saya subscriber ya thanks you

D6 all the way

AUDIX D2 hands down for rack toms, and for the kick and big floor toms D6 and D4 The AUDIX D2 is my go to mic for percussion.

D4 and D2 are Great. Now pair with Burl Audio B1 Preamps and you got Grammy winning sound.

D6 sounds the best to me. It has more high end in the initial attack than the d2 or d4. Really surprised about that. But in a studio situation, the overheads would probably fill out the missing tone in the d2/d4 and the difference would probably be minimal.
