Drum Microphone DP7 bundle

A microphone kit for micing a full drum kit.

From the manufacturer

The DP7MICRO drum pack contains seven microphones to mic a standard 5-piece drum kit: kick, snare, rack toms, floor tom and stereo overheads. Perfect for stage or studio, this combination of dynamic mics featuring exclusive Audix VLM TM capsule technology and the MicroD condenser mics offer accurate sound reproduction in very high SPL applications. Mic clips, mounts, and rugged aluminum carrying case are included.

Close Miking

The D6 for kick drum and the i5 for snare are considered must haves for every drummer. The kick and snare are considered the core of any drum kit and the foundation for every groove. Close miking ensures that they will be captured in the mix. If either the kick or the snare is unable to be heard, there is simply no groove. The MicroD, known for its clarity, excellent transient response, resistance to feedback, SPL (Sound Pressure Level) handling is perfectly tailored for toms and floor toms. These premium microphones, in conjunction with a close miking technique, are guaranteed to capture the attack and percussion sound of each drum. Also, by having the mic close to the source of the sound, it helps to isolate and control the sound of each drum.

Overhead Miking

The ADX51, a pre-polarized condenser microphone with a 14mm gold sputtered diaphragm, is designed with overhead applications in mind. Due to its cardioid pickup pattern, high sensitivity, and slim pencil design, the two ADX51 mics can be easily positioned overhead to provide an accurate stereo image of the entire drum kit.

The Blend

With contemporary music and the volumes typically generated on stage, it is more practical and effective to create a blended effect of close miking and a stereo image of the entire kit from overhead. The D6 will help provide the earthshaking lows and the attack of the kick; the i5 will reinforce the depth and crack of the snare; MicroD’s maximize transient attack and overtones of the toms, and the ADX51 overheads will pick up the hi-hat, cymbals, and the ambience of the entire kit. With the DP7MICRO, drums will maintain their sound integrity and critical presence, regardless of the size of the room and PA system.
