The SM 58 for drums

Philipp Sesselmann 20.02.2014

I first heard of the EV PL 35 when our bass player got one to test and gave it to me for my opinion. So I clamped it on my snare drum, a TAMA Imperialstar 5.5" by 14".
It was a bit hard to get it on at first because it the clamp was a bit cold so it was kind of stiff but when I had it on there everything was working properly. The mic is easy to adjust and very heavy, which is a fact for the solidness and it definitly can take a beating. It is like an SM58 undestroyable.

The one thing I'm a bit disapointed is that the XLR jack is not far away from the positioning bar so you need a corner XLR jack to get every angle to position.
But it works fine with a normal XLR jack, so it's just a minor problem.

The sound of the PL 35 is amazing. First I thought that it wouldn't sound as good as an e604 from Senheiser but I believe it sounds better. And the fact that this product cost like peanuts is even better.

Pros:
- inexpensive
- easy to adjust
- sounds nice (snare, toms, guitar)
- solid

Cons:
- angle of the jack is to near to the positioning bar

Amazing value

Omega-t-k 08.03.2021

I used them mainly to mic drums in my studio.
Bought 3 of them to use in my studio. They sound amazing for the price, and are very sturdy and well built (really well built!) I like the angle feature a lot since it's complicated to fit longer mics beneath the cymbals sometimes, depending on the set.
I have only two minor complaints about them, which are the clamps, which are a bit hard to place (specially on toms with floating system, and I imagine the will wear a bit quick), and the crazy output they have... I need to pad the volume on my interface otherwise the signal is a bit too hot. But this will vary from interface.

Overall, great value product!

Rather good - all things considered

Rob444 25.05.2021

I'm on a small budget and was looking for another mic for snare - This mic had pretty good reviews so I thought I'd try it out and am pleasantly surprised - I've used it on toms most and seems to give my Sennheiser mics a run for their money.
Pros: Very solid and sturdy construction, weighs quite a bit for a small mic (I like that) The angle of the mic works great.
Cons: The holder was incredibly stiff to open up and attach to the drum rim (I ended up using a different mount)

EV PL 35

Gerry G. 20.09.2014

I ordered four of these mic's after reading some reviews online, and have to say I wasn't disappointed. For the money they are fantastic, great sound for live or recording and they have a nice feel to them. The design is brilliant, allowing cymbals to be quite close to the toms without the mic's getting in the way. The plastic clamps take a while to get used to, it feels like they're going to snap when placing on the rim but they don't. Once fitted, stay in place solidly. Highly recommend these. :)
