On this type of product, I notice a "beginner" because it is the first time that I invest in a "real" kit micro battery (before I used like any beginning musician singing mics that I 'had on hand, like Shure SM58 and a special drum but low-end). So my opinion is worth what it is ...

So anyway, I can say that the result is not commensurate with what I used before. For the bass drum, I placed the microphone inside (great for the sound of the bat striking the skin) placed on a blanket, also inside the barrel. The result is really good, without having to make many corrections to the equalizer, compressor and by a recess. The toms sound great too. The microphone on the snare drum sounds good (compared to an SM58 anyway) but need to be almost horizontally from the drum (in the direction of the strike zone) because the sound was too fat low and more horizontal. Despite correction, it lacks a little finesse to my taste on the snare, but maybe I do it wrong (and I do not have a microphone to a recovery under the barrel to catch the timbre).

OVERALL OPINION

I use the kit again (for the record itself) and sometimes in concert to boost the bass drum (not in rooms above 80 people, I do not need to pass the other elements of the battery in the sound system). Small clarification: the hooks provided are very useful but it is difficult to put the microphone in the horizontal for my snare.

So in summary, I am very satisfied but I have no real point of comparison.
