Set of 6 microphones dedicated exclusively to the sound recording or a battery, two overheads, a kick drum microphone and three toms and snare mics.
Also includes three clips to acrocher toms and snare.
Everything is satisfactory even if a micro tom / snare and more could be interesting (given that most batteries have three toms rock ...)
References microphones: PG56 snare / tom, kick PG52, PG81 overheads.
OVERALL OPINION
I have not much used this kit, I actually used the kit more Samson Audio 7 rooms. I still recorded an EP with seven tracks ... I was pretty disappointed overall.
What is more interesting in this kit is its homogeneity of sound. The pickups marry well overall. However, I was surprised by the coldness and lack of presence of microphones.
In fact, two PG81 overheads gave me an aggressive sound without saturation. Mics snare / tom PG56 are correct, except I think the tom where it takes a lot of sub-bass. Finally, the kick is rather interesting in the bass, but the click ("stroke" around 2 to 5kHz) was not present during my tests, and difficult to work again then. Overall I think this kit is not worth the € 200 difference with the kit parts SAMSON 7. I am aware of not having tried hard, but I tested both on the same battery and I preferred the cheaper ...
That said, live in a kit like this can always be useful.
If anyone wants samples, I have backups that I can send. Contact me.
