Shure PGADRUMKIT7 7-Piece Drum Microphone Kit with Mounts, Cables and Case
Miking a drum kit from scratch usually means assembling mics one at a time. The PGA Drum Kit 7 covers the whole kit in one box, mounts and cables included.
- PGA52: dynamic kick mic tuned for solid low frequency response, with a swivel joint and quick release latch. Works on bass amps too.
- PGA56: dynamic tom mics for drums and other high-impact sources.
- PGA57: dynamic mic with a cardioid pattern for snare, guitar amps and other harmonically rich sources.
- PGA81: condenser overheads for a realistic three-dimensional picture of the kit.
- Included: mic clips and drum mounts, cables and a carrying case.
The kit doubles up outside the drum booth as well. The PGA52 handles bass amps, the PGA57 is at home on a guitar cabinet, and the PGA81 overheads are useful general purpose condensers when a session needs more microphones than you own.
Miking up a drum set can be a daunting task. The PGA Drum Kit 7 makes it a single decision, bundling the microphones with the clips, drum mounts and cables needed to get them into position, plus a case to carry the lot.
PGA52 on kick drum
The PGA52 dynamic microphone is tuned for extremely solid low frequency response, capturing the power of a kick drum with focus and accuracy. A swivel joint lets you find the right angle in relation to the source, and a quick release latch makes setup and teardown fast. It is equally at home in front of a bass amp.
PGA56 on toms
PGA56 dynamic microphones handle toms and other high-impact sound sources. They are the reason this kit works as a live rig as well as a recording one, giving clean, consistent results night after night on an acoustic kit.
PGA57 on snare
The PGA57 captures the loud, harmonically rich sound of a snare drum, and descends from a legendary Shure design that has done the same job for decades. Its cardioid pickup pattern helps you get more of the drum and less of the room. It doubles neatly as a guitar amp mic.
PGA81 overheads
PGA81 condenser microphones over the kit fill in the cymbals and the overall picture, giving you a realistic three-dimensional image rather than a collection of separate close mics. Away from the drum riser they are versatile enough for plenty of other sources.
Everything else you need
Mic clips and drum mounts, cables and a carrying case are all in the box, so the kit is complete on arrival rather than a shopping list.
