We caught up with Front of House icon Ken “Pooch” Van Druten (Iron Maiden, Bruno Mars, Doja Cat) at world famous 3rd Encore rehearsal studios as he prepped for Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson’s 2025 tour. In this video with Mojave Audio CEO Dusty Wakeman, Pooch shares the story of how he discovered Mojave’s MA-201fet condenser microphones for live drums and how they’re now a fixture on every tour he mixes. Pooch on Mojave Audio’s MA-201fet:

• A matched pair captures the entire drum kit without extraneous stage noise

• Fellow FOH legend Chris Rabold turned him onto Mojave and now he won’t tour without them

• They produce studio-quality drum sound in live settings like no other

Whether you’re mixing live sound at smaller venues or world tours, the Mojave MA-201fet is a top pro choice for capturing the magic of live drums.
