Beyerdynamic TG Drum Set Pro Mic Kit Review:
What To Expect from This Drum Mic Kit
Quality
The recording quality you get from these Beyerdynamic microphones is astounding. Since they’re condenser mics, you get to hear all the fine details of each drum and cymbal.
They make your kit sound very natural, and you don’t need to do too much work with the EQ if you don’t want to.
The bass drum mic is a particular favorite of ours. It delivers clean kick sounds that are punchy and powerful.
Construction
The only two microphones in this set that may look familiar to you are the overheads, as they have a standard pencil condenser capsule.
The other microphones all have unique bodies that you don’t see too often. They’re designed for drum kits, so the snare and tom mics have clever mounting designs that stop you from needing external rim mounts.
You then get a goose neck on each mic, which makes positioning them very easy. Those goose necks are also very rigid and reliable.
The bass drum mic is the standout option regarding appearance. It has a wide pickup area, and it needs to be positioned upright to get the best sounds.
Performance
These microphones perform like a dream. They have all you need when it comes to sound quality and reliability. This makes them perfectly suitable for professional settings where you need the best drum sounds possible.
Since these are all condenser microphones, you just need to be careful with your placements, as they’re more likely to pick up external sounds than dynamic mics.
You also need to make sure that you have phantom power for every mic in the set.
Price Value Ratio
We think this mic kit is priced very fairly. You get high-end mics that any pro can use for less than $1000.
However, that’s still very expensive for drummers who don’t live in the world of audio production.
If you’re inexperienced with microphones, you’d most likely be happy with a microphone kit that is half the price.
