5 Piece Drum Mic Set with Carry Case by Gear4music
The 5 Piece Drum Mic Set with Carry Case by Gear4music is a great quality drum microphone set that is all you need for recording on a budget. Included in this set is a Dynamic Kick Drum Mic, a Dynamic Snare Mic, a Dynamic Tom Mic and two Back Electret Condenser Overhead Mics, as well as windscreens, clips and connectors, and a lightweight durable carry case.
This superb microphone set has been specially designed for use with drum kits, and each drum mic has been selected to match the different type of sounds from different parts of the kit. The exceptional frequency response of the large TA-8300 mic is specially designed for kick drums and low frequency instruments, the TA-8210 for use with tom-toms, and the TA-8200 for the snare drum.
The two PCM-5100 condenser mics have been specially designed to capture the sound of cymbals, making them perfect overhead mics. These condenser microphones can either be powered by Phantom Power, or by an AA battery, inserted in the integrated battery compartment inside the microphone shaft, for situations where Phantom Power is not available.
All of the microphone mounts are designed with a standard thread of 5/8" or 3/8" to match all types of microphone stand, with the condenser mics supplied with a removable clip, and foam windshields. The set is also presented in a lightweight, durable moulded case filled with anti-collision sponge for ultimate protection.
Press Review
"The condensers sound extremely natural, reproducing the zing of the cymbals with clarity and without colouring the sound. the snare has sufficient crunch and guts and we were surprised just how good the kick sounds even through our small system."
"All three mics appear to be robust with their die-cast casings and thick woven metal grills - they look perfectly capable of taking any misguided stick wallop with ease."

This bundle also comes with five 6m XLR Cables for use as a microphone cable, instrument cable or patching cable.
