I have to counter with the fact that it made my Liquid Glass Ghatam
and low frame drums and djembe sound excellent in the low end.   What I
loved was that I seemed to get accurate reproduction of those low pitches
without a lot
of bass rumble which is typical of a lot of mics.

My advice is to try one on one's favorite percussion instruments before
buying
