Essential Information About the D6/i5/D2/D4/SCX1 Drum Microphone Kit

• Complete kit for drum sound capture: bass drum, snare drum, toms, floor tom, hi-hat, and overheads.


• Quick and clean setup thanks to the DCLIP and DVICE mounting systems adapted to various configurations.


• Versatile for live & studio: combination of dynamic microphones and condenser microphones for a detailed and balanced sound.


• Secure transport with a provided aluminum case to organize and protect the entire set.

A pack designed as a "ready-to-mix configuration"

This kit brings together widely used drum microphone models, selected to cover the entirety of a standard set with a simple logic: one dedicated microphone for each key element, plus a pair of condensers to capture the overall image. The goal is to obtain a coherent sound capture base, easily reproducible from one stage to another or from one session to another, while maintaining the necessary flexibility to adapt to styles (rock, pop, funk, metal, gospel, etc.).

The choice of clamps and mounts provided follows the same logic: to limit setup time, reduce clutter around the kit, and secure microphone positioning, even in tight stage environments.

Who is this drum microphone kit for?

This pack is intended for drummers, sound technicians, home studio users, and studios who want to mic a complete drum set without multiplying purchases or mounting incompatibilities. It is particularly relevant if you are looking for an "all-in-one" solution to record clean demos, capture serious takes in a home studio, or amplify a drum set in concert with a quick setup.

It is also very suitable for service providers and rehearsal spaces that need a robust, coherent, and easy-to-store kit, with microphones dedicated to each drum and condensers to capture attack, cymbals, and the room's ambiance.

Complete kit coverage: from impact to subtlety

Dedicated capture for each drum

The distribution of dynamic microphones allows separate treatment of the most demanding sources: bass drum (attack and impact), snare drum (crack, body, and definition), toms (attack and depth), and floor tom (low end and sustain). This approach facilitates mixing: more precise equalization, better dynamic management, and the ability to balance each element in the stereo field according to the desired style.

Overheads and hi-hat: precision and articulation

The condenser microphones complete the pack to capture what dynamic microphones do not always pick up with such finesse: cymbal brightness, detail of playing nuances, and the stereo image of the kit. The cardioid condenser pair is ideal as overheads to build a clear and controlled image, while the hypercardioid condenser microphone dedicated to the hi-hat helps isolate this source and gain definition, especially on fast grooves and open/close playing.

Included mounts: quick installation, reliable placement

The DVICE and DCLIP systems allow efficient setup on hoops and shells while maintaining good positional stability. This is a real advantage for saving time during setup, limiting the use of additional stands, and keeping a cleaner kit both on stage and in the studio. The windscreens provided with the condensers add useful protection against air blasts and help secure the capture in real conditions (breath, proximity, movements).
