I needed a set of drum mics for a recording and live project. I had no idea what to expect. With a limited budget, I went out on a limb and figured....whatever, I could always send them back. The band was shocked at the clearity and how hot the condensers are!!! The drum kit just blew up with sound. Since my purchase, I have thoroughly enjoed this product and if you are on a budget, you can't beat these microphones for their cost!!!!

From Jan's musician hubby with close to 30 years of fooling with mics and drums and a year with these in a hobby-studio environment: If you check the web and Musicians Friend web site you'll see complaints about the poor bass drum mic that comes with this kit and they are correct. It takes a lot of work and EQ-ing to get a decent bass drum sound with the Bass drum mic in this kit and even then it's only so so.
We actually got a better slap from an SM57! The tom and snare mics are a little dead in the mid-range, making the toms sound like cardboard boxes unless you know what youre doing and boost the snot out of the low-mids and mids and cut the highs way back. A plus though, they have good clips that dont fall off the drum. The condensers in the kit are small and tend to saturate with high noise level inputs like cymbal crashes unless you use the "pad" feature on them but are ok for less energetic signals like an acoustic guitar, conga drum, tambourine, etc. Bottom line: This kit is Ok if youre on a budget and looking for a starter drum mic kit but dont expect the world from these guys.

I got this for my husband(he's a drummer) and we are really happy with this mics, they work well and the sound is excellent, I would recommend this product; for the price I got it for I got a lot more for my money.We are very satisfied with this product.if you are in a tight budget this mics will do the job.CAD PRO-7 7-Piece Drum Microphone Pack

These mics sound great and feel very sturdy and can handle a drum stick to the face. The built in clip on the snare and Tom mics are very good and can get great angles. I think these mics are great for the money and I would buy them again if i had to.

I haven't had a chance to actually record much with these, but I have tested them out a little bit and they seem to do what they should.
