These mics will do the job! Buy

These mics are great for recording. I havnt used them live yet but im sure that it would work out. And for recording, all u have to use on the drums are the 2 tom mics, the kick and the snare and it will sound great. Because of that, you can use the other 2 mics for other intruments such as acoustics,guitar/bass amps, piano, and vocals. It has a great price. I had some shure mics that did not do as good as these. CAD all the way! Buy it.

Convenient but not great

A great example of very inexpensive Chinese made musical instruments flooding the pro audio market these days, Built to be "pre-eq'd" for the drums and mission accomplished to a small degree. Kick drum mic can be made to sound ok with a huge dip at about 200hz, a large bump up at about 80 hz and a rounded bump up at about 5khz. All frequencies that the more expensive kick mics already have in place. The plus is that the kick mic will reproduce below 100hz. The snare mic needs to be added to at 6k and the toms added to at about 100 hz. The interesting this about this mic collection is that when listened to as a group, the overheads add snap and presence that causes the whole kit to sound ok. With a dip in the kick at 200hz, the overall picture actually sounds decent but the overheads must be there to create the entire image. If you want mics that sound better individually, you will need to invest a bit more. I would not recommend to a commercially competitive studio but would to a startup who is willing to follow the above guidelines. Marked as recommended but primarily as a price mark for semi pro application.

    They capture the drums but I soon realized they just don't sound great. Can be made to sound ok with work & will amplify your drums for very little money. Still on the market.

    What cables and stands would I need to complete this microphone set and make it usable on a 4 piece kit? Thanks!

    This comes with clips. You will only need XLR mic cables

    My audio recording device is on of those tiny Scarlett studios( I'm blanking on the name) with only one microphone connector. With this product and the manny microphones, will I need lots of cables to connect the microphones into one audio recorder? I'm confused so sorry.

    You would need a mixer to plug all these XLR drum mics in to before using your Focusrite Scarlett. Or you would need to upgrade to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20.
