Overall a great buy and good value. The snare mic has the IDENTICAL frequency response to a SM57. (no joke... it's EXACTLY the same) so that's a plus. The toms mics are good for the upper toms, but sounds like poop on the floor tom. I took the 2nd tom mic and mic'd our sax player and it sounds great. We are using the kick mic on the floor tom and sounds incredible. We already had a AKG D112 on our kick so we really didn't need to use the CAD on the kick.

The clips are cheaply made, but the concept design works very well. We are using these on our Gretch kit for our church services. All in all, If I had to do it over again, I'd buy another set for live app. For recording, you might want to spend a little more.

I've been a (paid)sound engineer for 15 years.

I had to update this review. Literally months of playing around, adjusting and tweaking levels and controls on my mixer, compressor and audio interface made a difference. Once oriented in the optimum angle and position for your application these microphones will deliver a very nice sound. Also, they're labeled so make sure you use the snare mic on the snare and not the tom (like this dork did) or you won't get the right sound.

Very decent. Light weight, and worth the price for the minimally funded drummer who wants to mic a kit.

Contrary to what another reviewer mentioned, somewhere, these are not metal. They're molded plastic. Not a bad thing, but there may be some resonance issues at certain frequencies, depending on your drum tuning. Which can be controlled by either retuning or pulling down the offending frequencies with an EQ.
