Ross Garfield / Drum Doctors

“The first time I heard these mics, I was in love with them. I was over at Capital and I asked the engineer for something in my headphones so I could tune the drums to my room. When I heard the drums and found out that it was just the single mic over my head, the R88, I was blown away. I told the engineer, that’s it, we don’t need anything else. Dude, I’m in love.”

– Ross Garfield
