collapse expand iconDescription

The Digital Reference DRDK7 7-Piece Drum Mic Kit contains microphones optimized for every type of drum and cymbal. Proper recording means that each drum in your kit requires a specific miking approach, and the DRDK7 microphone set delivers. Included are a DR-K100 kick drum mic with clip, four DR-ST100 snare/tom mics with clips and two DR-C100 condenser overhead mics.

This DRDK7 7-piece drum microphone kit provides the ideal punch, detail and clarity for stage performance or studio recording. The low-profile mics mean minimum visibility, while the resilient microphone mounts reduce stage clutter with secure rim-mounting and versatile positioning. This Digital Reference mic set even includes a hardshell carrying case with die-cut foam compartments and an integrated handle.

    Very Good Mics For The Home Recordist

    Like many people, I bought this mic kit after considering more expensive kits and I am glad I did. The four rim-mount mics do an excellent job handling the high SPL of close-mic'ing drums, the kick mic gives a wonderful, deep punch along with a nice "thwack" from the batter. The condenser overheads are clean and clear. I use the four mics on toms and an SM57 on my snare. I'm very impressed with the sound quality I get. The mounting clips are not well designed to mount to different rims, but a little heat applied with a MAP torch let me open the clamping "jaws" up so they fit my drums perfectly. No, you're not getting four SM57s, a Beta kick, and two 414s for $200. But you will get very clean, transparent, full sound to work with without spending $1000. Any kit in the "in between" price range is likely a waste of a few hundred bucks.

    Good mics, Be prepared to buy different mic holders

    The mic set itself is definitely decent for the money, with the exception of the clips to actually attach it to the drum set itself. Immediately out of the box 2 broke, and guitar center and digital reference would not replace them because digital reference doesn't have replacements for them and guitar center said that it needs to be replaced from the manufacturer. If I was reviewing the mics themselves I would say 4 stars but with how much the trouble the clips have given me I'm only giving 2.

      I Love the clips, and the little dynamic mics are decent enough. I did replace the snare mic with an sm57 and I doubled up the kick mic with an sm7b but overall, especially with the overhead condenser mics, I get a great full eight-track recording that I can edit later. In that same order I ordered the Scarlet 18i20 so I get my full eight independent channels oddly enough recorded with her Raspberry Pi but that's irrelevant here lol.

    • Good for small stages

      We use these for live shows. Drummer has large floor toms so we use two DR-K100's on those and the rack tom the DR-ST100. Kick we use Senn e901, snare Beta57, Hat and OH's Behringer C-2's and all sounds great out front.

      I really haven't had that much of a chance to test the mics, and have really no others to compare them to, so, can't really comment on the sound. The reason I haven't had a chance to test them is that they keep falling off my congas! Bought them for use on my LP congas -- they fall off if you just look at them -- never mind playing the drum.

      I'm looking into a drum mic set. I'm considering a 7 piece set. What other equipment would i need besides a stereo receiver and speakers?
