Ok only for rehearsal spaces (Review as a Kick Mic)
I usually use a Samson C03 as a Kick-in mic and I love it, but I needed something for the extremely heavy hitters, so that it could handle any spl.
Pros:
-Indeed handles any spl
-Very sturdy construction
Cons:
-Sounds very bad, with huge 150Hz and 500Hz buildup
and there's almost no high end.
-Very low sound rejection, there was way too much snare and cymbals in the Kick channel, more than even the condenser mics I've tried.
-Ugly off-axis coloration, typically bad, as with most dynamic mics, but paired with its low off-axis rejection, it's a recipe for disaster.
All in all:
It's ok if you just need a cheap mic for bass drum reinforcement in a rehearsal space, but frankly this is not a kick drum mic,
it might be nice for vibey brass or even harmonica or any thin sounding source that needs some weight,
but I wouldn't put this near anything that already sounds big.

You get what you pay for
You really do get what you pay for and this mic is no exception. Having said that though for the money it's not too bad, in fact recording djembe using it as a floor mic and recording guitar it's not a bad little mic and does the job if used in conjunction with other better mics giving you an extra track which can be eq-ed to give you extra bottom end range.

Good
Nothing bad with this microphone, totally useful but not the best quality, I would have prefer invest a bit more for better quality, however it is totally functional and no issues at all

Indestructible
Its built to last over all my other mics, I bought it to record my saxophone but its a bit noisy for the purpose.
Instead I use it for with my already noisy African drums. Good affordable Snare/drum mic.
