The [web page](http://www.kingcapitolpunishment.com/highrollermicrophones.html) says it all:  
_  
"HIGH ROLLER" microphones are sonically right at home when  
used to record drums regardless of the type of preamplifier utilized  
in the process.  
these hi definition microphones boast an astonishing dynamic range  
with a signal to noise ratio well above  
500 db you can record anything while still capturing the soul of  
the performance.  
_  
That about sums it up. This handmade beauty (apparently available with six different color schemes) is only $30.00! I mean, what else can you get for $30 that will enhance your creativity this much? Okay, besides a quarter gram of cocaine and a case of Mickey's Big Mouth.

While you're on the site, be sure to check out the one-off [Sleepdrone](http://www.kingcapitolpunishment.com/sleepdrone.html) analog synth/opto-theremin/rat's nest of wiring. Like wombats fucking, that one. I, of course, have never actually seen or heard wombats fucking, but I bet they sound like the Sleepdrone when they do.

Do Black Beans require phantom power? I hope they are tube condensor beans.

If they were tube condensor beans, ther would be a window so you could see the tubes.
