[@JAubertin]

Can you please tell me what mic is this ?

[@murdochcrabtree833]

It's hard to tell from the video, but I would be inclined to think it is a Neumann. Having worked around mics all my adult life, I have never heard any microphone sound as good. I swear you can hear the dandruff falling from your head! And it does exceptionally well at lower registers.
See the photos here -

They are expensive, but worth every cent if you are serious about sound.

And they have been in the microphone business, setting the standard for excellence, since 1928.

[@elliotkillianmusic4619]

not many mics have this color and size, almost positive it's an Se Electronics Gemini tube mic

I think it’s fairly obvious that he has made some kind of pact with the devil for this level of talent! Ha.

[@MrDJAK777]

I'm not sure the devil would be good enough, he might be taking lessons.
