SM-57 can honestly just be all of these.

SM57: DOES IT MAKE SOUND, THO?

What’s the one for the St. Anger snare. Asking for a friend.

Am a snare drum, can confirm

Some madmen use the SM57 for vocals.

The amount of shitty podcasts who use the SM7 and just don't bother to pair it with a nice pre-amp is too damn high. It is so high, that shure now makes a dB version with an in-built pre-amplifier. That mic sounds very particular when it is improperly used and is a telltale sign the podcast is going to be shit. All the hype, no actual knowledge. (save a very few exceptions of good writers before they learned more about sound engineering)

The SM58 vs SM57 is the best.

Rode wireless you talk with bird hand gestures 🤏 and have attached it to something quirky like a broom because you know it's your broom mic sub like

I am snare drum

As a Sennheiser HMDC 27 user, unsure if top left or top right. I’ll be playfully attacked enough for both I guess :-)

I personally just use an overhead mic. Bit sensitive, but likely could be compensated

What if I identify as an Apache attack helicopter?
