It’s the mic I use on everything – and there’s an awesome Black Friday saving to be had
If there’s one mic I’d recommend everyone gets, it would be the SM57. It can record basically anything, you have to actively try to make it sound bad and you have to really try to break it. While the mic itself remains £99 for Black Friday, Thomann’s throwing in a Gravity mic stand – normally £35 – for free! This shorter stand is perfect for micing up any speaker on a guitar cab, or a drumkit without it getting in the way of itself. Check out the deal:

So once you’ve unpacked your brand new SM57, what can you use it for? Well, I would argue basically anything – it’s famously great in front of a guitar cabinet, but it’s super versatile. It does a stellar job on bass, kick, snare, vocals, trumpet, sax – anything. Point an SM57 at all of the important parts of your band, start rolling and you may well have an album by the end of the day.
It also has near unlimited volume handling – you could probably get a clean recording of an extinction-level asteroid impact with an SM57, which would be at least one saving grace about the whole situation. Failing planetary destruction, it will also definitely handle your amp at its loudest, or the shotgun-blast of sound that is your drummer hitting their snare with all their might.
