About the Shure PGADRUMKIT7 7-Piece Drum Microphone Kit
The Shure PGADRUMKIT7 is a comprehensive seven-piece microphone collection specifically curated for capturing a full drum set. This all-in-one package provides a selection of dynamic and condenser microphones, each chosen for its proven performance on specific drum and cymbal components, offering a complete solution for home studios, project studios, and live sound engineers on a budget. The kit includes microphones for kick drum, snare drum, tom-toms, and overhead cymbal capture, along with all necessary mounting hardware and cables, enabling a quick and effective drum miking setup right out of the box. It is designed to deliver a balanced, clear drum sound with reliable durability for both stage and studio use.
The kick drum microphone is a dynamic model with a tailored frequency response to emphasize the low-end punch and attack of the kick, while the included snare and tom microphones are versatile dynamic workhorses known for their ability to handle high sound pressure levels and provide a focused midrange presence. The kit also contains a pair of pencil condenser microphones, which are ideal for use as overheads to capture the shimmer and detail of cymbals and the overall ambience of the drum kit. Each microphone comes with a dedicated mount or clip—such as a boom stand adapter for the kick mic, low-profile clips for toms, and a universal stand adapter for the overheads—simplifying the positioning process.
This package emphasizes practicality and value, bundling essential accessories like a 7-channel carrying case, XLR cables of appropriate lengths, and a drum mic mounting hardware pack. The microphones are engineered to provide good isolation from neighboring drums, reducing bleed and making the mixing process more straightforward. For drummers and engineers seeking a single, cost-effective package to professionally mic an entire acoustic drum kit, the PGADRUMKIT7 offers a functional and reliable turnkey solution that covers all the foundational elements of drum recording.
