I place the SHure between my Congas for the most realistic sound possible , I place one of my Monitors behind our Bass player so he hears the driving sound which is produced by my Mic.
Great Mic For The Money.....

What can you say? I've seen some debate over whether it's still a relevant mic with today's choices. But I've had two sound men (one with nearly 40 years of experience, one with about 16 years) specify the SM57 when building our drumkit mic set. And when needed, it obviously works well in front of a speaker cab.
Great mic for the $
Shure SM57, Stand & Cable Package
Reviewed by Djberg73 on Guitar Center
Like most reviews of this bundle, the stand and cord seem fairly cheap. They'll work fine for me at home, but I couldn't see the stand lasting long gigging. Can't complain since the cost is only like $10 more than the mic alone!

Don't buy the bundle
Shure SM57, Stand & Cable Package
Reviewed by Nick W on Guitar Center
The stand is very poorly designed and doesn't hold the mic in place at all. On top of that, the xlr cable is pretty cheap. You're better off just getting the sm57 by itself and buying other cables and stands separately. The microphone is decent so far, I haven't got to use it much yet since I don't have a functioning mic stand

This is a great microphone - the industry standard for recording guitar amps, bass amps, drums and even vocals. This microphone has stood the test of time for decades. You can't go wrong with the Shure brand. Great for snares and toms. These are virtually indestructible too and are built like a tank!
Love the 57!

Just have a thing for the 57, from long ago, bought it mostly for nostalgia sake! Sounds as good as my 58, to me.
Solid microphone, good package deal

The SM57 is a great workhorse mic for recording instruments - it came quickly and in safe packaging. The whole kit with an XLR cable and mic stand is a great deal and is everything you need to get recording into your interface!

I guess what all the reviews say is true after all, the SM57 is a great mic. Sound's clear and responsive, this thing is built like a tank. Very good and durable mic overall.

Shure SM57s are hands down the best bang for the buck. Works for any application, great non-directional vocal mic for less feedback, my choice over a SM58 or 58 Beta. Best kick mic under $400. Be real carful removing the screen, I tore the crystal off the mic this one is replacing.

The legendary 57 has stood the test of time, and is used on almost ALL recordings no matter what studio or live situation. I always use it for Snare andd Guitars, but have used it all around the studio. It is a great mic and lasts Forever! I have many of these and always reccomend it!
Does the job!

The mic is great of course. An industry standard and first choice for most professionals to mic a guitar amp. I'm no pro but I concur - works fine for me! Handled vocals too. The rest of the kit (mic stand and XLR cable) is surprisingly good quality too - overall a great buy!

Bought this for my daughter along with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo to record her saxophone playing. Perfect mic for sax, sound is open and sounded great with this combo. Exceeded my expectations for a $99 mic.

This is the best mic out there for a guitar amp! I have a 2x12 Vox and I used several different mic's the SM57 is clear and in the PA sounded just like my amp! Don't mess around with any other mic's get this one!

I bought it to record some vocals, acoustic guitar and percusion in my home studio but didn't like it at all... if you are going to buy this mic for the same purpose, buy any other condenser mic instead... Dynamic mics, like this one, are good for live performace... at least for me, who is beggining to learn about recording...
