Specifications

When recording drums, you need a mix of microphones to capture professional results. You’ll need clip mics that work well on snares and rack toms; a mic designed for low-frequency sources like the kick drum; and overhead mics to capture room sounds and natural reverb. It is important that drum microphones have focused pick-up patterns to limit the bleed from other instruments, and have a high-SPL to eliminate internal clipping when the drummer plays with passion and attack. For miking the individual elements of a kit, the best mics are small and non-intrusive so the drummer does not feel limited when recording. These mics must also be rugged enough to withstand the inevitable collision with a drumstick.
