The package is intended to perfectly mount and position the Beta 98A on any stand and is recommended for a variety of acoustic or amplified instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind, and strings. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis feedback and noise, and its tailored frequency response reproduces drums with pristine results.

Shure Beta 98 Reviews
Outstanding french horn mic
This mic has been perfect for our live french horn performance micing, capturing the sound exactly how we wanted it. The fit and finish is outstanding, and the ruggedness of construction has been greatly appreciated, given the elements we work in. The soft rubberized clip has worked flawlessly to hold on to the rim of the bell without damaging the Conn 8D horn it is mounted to. Solid choice, and it is also available in a wireless system variant!
Does what I want for a Tom Mic...
I'm using this mic on each of my kits four toms. The mic sound great and gives a nice punch and tone for the drums. The clip works well on the heads and the mic itself is easy to position where I want it and it stays there even with a aggressive drummer. I've got no real complaints as of yet and don't foresee any either.
