Drum Microphone – the most important at a glance

If you’re looking for a microphone to capture the sound of a drum kit, you’ve got a few different options to choose from. The most common type of microphone for this purpose is the dynamic microphone, which is able to handle high levels of sound pressure. Another option is the condenser microphone, which is more sensitive and can provide a more “detailed” sound.

If you’re just starting out, or working with a limited budget, a good entrylevel option is the Shure SM57. This popular microphone has been around for years and is used by a lot of professional drummers. It’s a great allpurpose mic that can be used for many different applications, including drums.

If you’re looking for something with a little more “punch,” the AKG D112 is a great choice. This mic is specifically designed for capturing the lowend frequencies of drums, so it’s ideal for kick drums and toms.

If you want the best of both worlds, the Sennheiser e902 is a great option. This mic has a “dualdiaphragm” design, which means it can be used as either a dynamic or a condenser microphone. It’s also designed specifically for drums, so it’s a great allpurpose option.

No matter which microphone you choose, make sure to spend some time experimenting with placement to get the best sound. For example, kick drums usually sound best when the mic is placed about an inch from the beater head. And for snare drums, try placing the mic just above the rim, pointing down towards the center of the drum.
