Could These Microphones Be My New Secret Weapons?

Could these microphones be my new secret weapons? I'm going to find out if these old High Impedance microphones are unique enough to add to my arsenal of gear I use to create the secret sauce.
Thanks to Zack Hooper for letting me use his music in this video and Shane Lenzon for doing such a great job on the drums.

[@twenty3five]

Yes!! YOU are the secret weapon Billy!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thank you! That's the nicest thing I've heard in a while.

[@iGLOoTracks]

always on point my friend!!

[@tomwatson283]

Brilliant video - As always.

[@Awthentik]

This is REALLY great content. Love the story telling. Loved this piece. My dad used to record on a similar recorder to send tapes back to Haiti. Your mic collection is a major reminder to collect gear, don’t sell the good stuff and take good care of it. Salute! 🙌🏾

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! Yes, never sell any gear even if you think it sucks because someday it might be cool again or just the tool you need.

[@Peanut_Butter_Jelly_Jam]

I actually purchased a couple of these about a month ago. One was a CB-radio looking thing like the Panasonic you had, the other was a chunky Phillips. Both of them were originally meant to be used for reporting/journalism. They work great for giving some extra character to guitar and even vocal recordings. Haven't tried them with drums... yet.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

You should give them a shot on drums. Might be good for loops and also grungy room mics.

[@MySynthDungeon]

Excellent ,,video , words out ,, lov it!! Cheers!;-)!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks so much!!!

[@Studio22mix]

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

thank you!

[@TheMixClub]

So i checked this video out last week and have been thinking about this non stop. I love this kind of stuff.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! I was out again today searching for weird mics and stuff.

[@thetokyoteens]

Great video! Yes, I hear “The Laugh”…😂😂😂

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

See... you made it into the video somehow.

[@alkaponememphis]

The fact that u have a tape recorder and mic from your dad when he was in Vietnam and it’s still intact and being used🤯 only Billy Hume the wizard and it doesn’t surprise me! Great video mane!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Oh... you know.... you've seen my house and all the stuff I collect. I now have a lion statue in the back yard.

[@legacyShredder1]

Your dad sending voice recordings to his wife from Viet Nam is kind of sweet. Awesome snippet of history there.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! I've listened to a couple and they are interesting, hilarious and tear jerkers. The ones my mom sent back to my dad had me laughing. I'll probably put some of them up here.

[@legacyShredder1]

@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume If you do I'll listen.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

I'm actually going to do a documentary thing about all this. It'll take a while but in the meantime I might put up some short snippets on my Instagram channel. Just search for Billy Hume.

[@MrOstehapsen]

Very Cool Video

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thank you!!!

[@jozefkovac5507]

Try the old Czechoslovak Comunistic TESLA AMM 100 It has an disgusting thick aluminum diaphragm, and the pickup is probably pendulum from electric clock?. Perfect decoherence. A generator of random resonances. Surprisingly, it didn't significantly affect the spoken word, so it has some "clarity" factor.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

I looked online but couldn't find it. Can you provide a link?

[@jozefkovac5507]

yt just delted automaticaly that link try searching: "Elektromagnetický mikrofon TESLA AMM 100"

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks! Found it.

[@jakearnold5684]

Aaaaaaaaand that's why you're The Wizard. I recall doing a guitar track with a broken cable and you tapped on it and turned the entire thing into a tremolo. What were the odds....instead of throwing the cable out, we made something unique outta it. Awesome video.

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

I remember that. Anything for a unique sound.

[@cjthomasmusic]

Awesome! I've got a couple of those little mics as well. I never thought to actually use them. While watching this I reached for my Panasonic and recorded an acoustic guitar through it. Such a cool sound! Thanks for sharing!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

That's so cool!
