Sounds good but not ergonomic
I've only used the mic for 2 shows so these are more like initial thoughts.
The mic sounds good, it's nothing exceptional but it works for toms and is comparable to the Sennheiser E604 which I believe is industry standard. It has a scooped sound, so I'm not sure it would be suitable as an all-rounder dynamic.
The issue I have is with the mic clip, in my opinion it's far too long. It doesn't matter on a mic stand, but if you want to use the included drum mount (or a different mount, I tried a few) you'll need 8 inches clearance above the drum skin. For the drummers I work with this is far too much as it interferes with cymbal placement, and a standard clip won't fit the mic so I don't know how to solve this. For comparison, an SM57 on the same mount needs 5" clearance, E604 requires around 4".
I hope this helps someone!

Amazing quality for the price you pay
I purchased 2 of these.
Very punchy sound, the clamps that come with the mic are fine but if you like isolating your microphones from vibrations then you better use a stand.
These Microphones are very good for rock
