The School of Audio Engineering (SAE) recommends the SM57 (along with other makes and models) for four roles in a drum kit: kick drum, snare drum, rack toms, and floor tom.[3] The cardioid pickup pattern of the microphone reduces the pickup of unwanted background sound and the generation of acoustic feedback. Notable singers known to have recorded vocals with an SM57 include Anthony Kiedis, Brandon Flowers,[4] Madonna,[5] David Bowie,[6] John Lennon,[7] Jack White,[8] Bjork,[9] Peter Gabriel,[10] Paul Rodgers,[11] Tom Waits,[12] Wayne Coyne,[13] Tom Petty [14]Alice Cooper, Erykah Badu,[15] Caleb Followill[16] and Raphael Saadiq.[17] An early model of the mic, the Unidyne 545 was used on Pet Sounds for Brian Wilson's vocal tracks. ^ History of Shure Incorporated Archived 2008-04-28 at the Wayback Machine Sound&Recording 50 Years of Shure SM57 ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7867.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7867.txt
