It's a drum kit, so there is the bare minimum.
OVERALL OPINION
I did used once for an evening with two very distinct style groups.
The first was due neo metal and the second rock-funk-blues. For the latter, I should not combine a sound with but a set of percussion.
I tried a lot of microphones, classic models and some "exotic".
But coming to the facts: I did not like this kit. I expected more from Shure.
The micro GC is ridiculous, for the group of neo, it sounded cardboard, not nice at all. As for the CC and toms, idem. No potato, a sound fade ... FRO.
For the rock band, the darbuka and djembe were not highlighted. I got a "poc-poc" instead of harmonics, clarity. And of course no dynamic ...
Only overheads are doing a little, but they sound very showy. No round in the sound of the cymbal. I think we could have put a lid frying pan instead of Zildjan ...... We could not hear the difference .......
I'm a bit excessive, but I am very excited to see that Shure could bring to market things like that.
The value for money is not up to par. Because if you can get a kit for € 450, have to see what it is. Democratization of material: Yes. But be careful not to take people for idiots.
Better to take one or two microphones less but have a sound that respects and complies with the instruments and artists.
