DESCRIPTION:
Recently got a set of the TSM411s and had seen many comparisons between them, so here's a comparison of them side-by-side on two snares at two different angles – both soloed, and both with overheads and kick (tuttied). No EQ or processing other than some compression on the full mix for volume. I like the CAD's fatness but it does accentuate those errant high frequencies.

Other mics: 2x MXL V63m overhead, 1x Gear One MK1000 kick
Snares: 14x6.5" Taye Black Nickel / Brass with Evans Coated Power Center Reverse Dot, 14x5.5" Oriollo Phantom with Evans ST Dry
