question
is a 604 mic good enough for a alto sax ?
The e604 can be used for miking instruments like a sax in addition to drums and would be able to handle the SPL. For an alternative that can also be mounted a condenser will offer better capture tonally. The e908 or Shure Beta-98 are common alternatives.

question
Hi, is an e-604 mic a good choice for a bass drum? Any alternative mic models a surdo (brazilian bass drum)? Thanks,
Hi, I would not recommend it for a bass drum. I use the e-604 on toms and snare drum with GREAT results. However, I would highly recommend using an AKG D112 or the like on a bass drum. You will get MUCH better results. Good luck!

question
Is there a sensitivity rating for this mic?
Yes it does. Sensitivity in free field, no load (1kHz)1,8 mV/Pa. Also keep in mind there is Low sensitivity to impact and handling noise. This is due to the very high sound pressure handling capability.
