Quare Job!
I purchased four of these in 2013 when I decided to buy myself a touring mic package along with two Se1A's for overheads, a sennheiser e901 for kick and a beyerdynamic mc930 for hi hats.
Using the E904s for Snare and three Toms gave me just what I wanted. They captured the tone of the rock Kit perfectly in every circumstance, I have since used them in all types of genres when I'm mixing and really couldn't fault them.
Thankfully working with good Drummers these mics have virtually have no sign of wear or tear and the clamps have been though hundreds of gigs since and have not let me down yet. Definitely a great mic.

Just Great.
Tried finding them online second hand for a good price but couldn't find it, so I had to buy them new here by Thomann.
My theory is that because its such a good reliable mic, not often someone will really feel the need to sell them.
As I do sound for my bands and other bands, I enjoy the many ways of using this mic.
For congas, toms, other World/Latin percussion...
My main reason for getting these mics was to mic up a Brasilian drum called Zabumba. (A held drum where one skin serves as a Snare, and the other side serves as a kick drum).
I avoided clip mics for some time but with the Zabumba it became inevitable. using two E 904 or 2 E 409 is basically the only way PROs do it in Brasil. great sound, less stands, less complications, percussionist can dance around the stage and have a stable mic system. =)
I am very happy with my purchase.
Cheers!

Great Tom Tom microphone
I needed a good quality microphone for a floor Tom that has a deep low end true to the instrument. This microphone delivers coupled with the excellent clip on attachment I couldn’t be happier with my choice. As always the very helpful reviews on Thomann gave me the final push to order myself one. Brilliant.

Great mic with professional results
This microphone was a surprise, due to its low pricing, as it can record various toms with precision and great clarity. The frequency response is great for the price of the microphone and I would recommend these for any studio/live setting.

Honest sound, convenient size
I got this as an upgrade for my SM57 and I selected it because I wanted a more neutral and honest capture of my snare, that work well in the mix. I was not disappointed! No EQ needed and I've played everything from a 5" black beauty to a 6.5" maple snare, and everything is captured really well. My only negative is that the clamp doesn't have great utility with the angle very limited if you want to position it closer to the head.

Another Great Sennheiser product!
I purchased these for use on toms or as snare bottom when I mic up kits. Having used e604's often I was very impressed with these, they sound warmer and give a beefier tone.
The build quality is excellent and the sennheiser clamps make fitting to drums really easy.

All as you would expect
A good all round microphone. Every drummer has loved the sound of their kit since using them. They are very easy to fit and are subtle enough not be noticed. They are also solid enough to take a drum stick swipe. Great Microphone.

Sound Engineer favourite
This is a great sounding dynamic mic. A higher quality than the e604. Sounds better. Metal casing. Handy clamp, no stand needed.
