Got these a few years ago. They sound great on drums, hats, guitar amps, acoustic guitars, piano, and are decent vocal mics as well.

These mics are great. I rented an Audix Fusion 6 piece kit for home recording and used them for the drums and used one of these F15s for the guitar cab and it was excellent on both the cab and the overhead for the drums. Man did these drums and guitasr come out clear! For this value I had to pick one up. Very good mics.

This is an amazing microphone for the price. I'm a professional drummer for a living and I bought two of these to use as overheads live. They sound crisp and clear and pick up all your drums excellently. I find that I don’t really need to mic up my toms. The F15’s pick them up perfectly too along with my cymbals. I also use an Audix i5 on my snare and an Audix D6 on my bass drum. With these 4 microphones, I’m good to go baby! Audix does not get the credit or exposure they deserve for the quality of their products. Try the Audix OM5 or Audix OM2 vocal mics if you are a singing drummer like me. It just doesn’t get any better.

I bought two of these microphones for my studio and they're held up by a couple of DR Pro boom stands, which by the way are the sturdiest stands ever. These mics are used as overheads in my setup; mainly. But, I also use them along with my Audio Technica at2050 to mic acoustic guitars, vocals, and even my school band and orchestra. These mics are just as good as the high end microphones, such as the AKG condensers and the Rodes and even the Shures (SM81). I know because I have used these other condensers as well, but for the crystal sounds, the superb value( I can tell that these babies are going to last a while, because I've already droped them a few times and they don't even have scuff marks on them), and an overall score of 5.0 out 5.0; well, I'd just have to say that if you don't buy a pair of these right now, you are throwing your money down the toilet on other microphones.
