Snare Mic Shootout/Comparison: Sm7b, Sm57, e906, e604, i5

The first half of the video is the dry sound, no mixing involved at all. The second half of the video has some mixing. I used a gate, compression and EQ. The mixing was done quickly and definitely could be done better, but it's just to get an idea of how it would sound. Sorry the video is so quiet. For best listening throw on a good pair of headphones and crank it.
