The Sennheiser E609 SILVER dynamic instrument microphone may also be used with drums.

The Sennheiser E609 SILVER supercardioid dynamic instrument microphone features the distinctive lateral mounted capsule for miking guitar cabs face on and extremely close to the signal source. Super cardioid pick-up pattern provides isolation from other on-stage signals. The lightweight voice coil construction and rigid dome diaphragm provide both extended high frequency performance and a hard wearing capsule assembly. Also suitable for drum miking, particularly toms, where the microphone's profile allows the capsule to be positioned close to the drum skin.
