Lewitt DTP 640 REX Unbox and Workout

Today I'll try out the Lewitt DTP 640 REX, a kick drum microphone. I'll try out the different built-in EQ settings and see how it sounds. After I've had a chance to get to know the mic a little better, I'll do another video with more sound samples on kick, bass, and maybe even electric guitar!
Lewitt's sound samples are available on their product page for the REX: www.lewitt-audio.com/micropho...

I would’ve done the EXACT same tests when adjusting and reviewing the mic for myself, but I wouldn’t have recorded it. Thank you, brother!

[@BadHorsie2]

Very useful pice of kit.

[@GL64]

Very interesting kick mic. I also use a D6 and for me it's a pretty hard mic to beat for kick drums.

[@YHRS]

I'm very happy with it so far. I've liked the D6 all these years, but I just wanted to see what other flavors were out there. I've got a sound in my head and I've yet to make it happen out loud :)

[@metaldefender49]

Sounds like a godly death metal kick mic! Gotta have one!

[@mcmarine777]

Same with the D6 here - Sounds like the infamous D6 has a formidable competitor!

[@raycochrane3971]

I spend my drum EQ energy trying to reduce the beater batter. Nice one tad.

[@YHRS]

I know what you mean! I have a certain "flavor" of beater smack that I'm chasing. I'm looking forward to continued chasing of that imagined sound.

Did you ever try the Evans ST Dry head on the snare?

[@YHRS]

I put the Genera Dry heads on both of my snare drums! I liked it so much on the birch snare that I put another one on my Acrolite. I really love them, they've been a great fit.

Désolé c'est du français. Google est ton ami pour traduire ! Merci d'avoir fait cette vidéo, ça conforte mon choix. J'en ai commandé un. J'attends avec impatience qu'il arrive ce micro. Autrement le son de ta batterie, on croirait que tu l'as triguée !! Bonne vidéo d'explication autrement.

Yo mate it would be cool if you make a new 500$ pc build!

[@YHRS]

I've been thinking of doing another one of those lately. I'm a little afraid of how the supply issues in the US would affect the ability to choose the right components. I might go peruse my local Micro Center and see if it'd be feasible. I've just gotta wait for the channel's bank account to rebound after purchasing a new recorder!

@@YHRS what's the configuration in your mind?
