Value For Money :
Excellent
7 PC microphones designed for miking (mostly live) batteries containing:
<ul>
A dynamic microphone Stagg DM-5010BD for the bass drum
4 Stagg MD-dynamic microphones 5020TTS for snare and toms
2 condenser microphones Stagg CM-5050HO for cymbals (phantom power required)
</ul>
If I understand the documentation that came with, they are cardioid, including static.
Delivered in a briefcase kind custom flight case with 2 Bonette anti-wind and two clips, two for all mics cymbals.
However, it lacks a microphone for the hihat to be truly comprehensive, it's too bad ... :-(((( And possibly also 2 pencils electrostatic microphones omnis for overheads, but I'm not sure it's advisable to use live because they are likely to take the risk then returns with feedback, at least possibly that the drummer uses a headphone for his return. In my opinion, overheads, but is recommended only in the studio. Live, to capture the elements treble (cymbals - hi-hat), it is better to use static-pencils indeed but cardioid, one per element and place them as close as possible.
Brackets for attaching the 4 toms on the toms are also to be purchased separately (+ mic stands for the other microphones, of course ^ ^)
OVERALL OPINION
Well, it is true that so far, whether live or in studio, I fesais recordings of mainly electronic music. And then suddenly, in March 2007, I meet regularly for a few months of musicians rock - hard rock. I told myself that I would be careful what it takes for making acoustic batteries, you never know.
So I fitted this kit drum mics and Peavey PV 14 USB, a mixer that I specially dedicated to mixing of these microphones. Other musicians will be taken directly to my Akai DPS16 multitrack.
Well, I am well aware that the configuration of a battery may change as the drummer and the kind of music played. That is why I (and I already have some of them) the following microphones:
<ul>
1 dynamic large diaphragm Stagg DM-5010 for a possible second bass drum (the American batteries, for example). I wonder why I did not find a second DM-5010BD piece but hey, it's practically the same, just the color that changes slightly: the DM-5010 is black and a little clearer .
2 of the famous Shure SM57 dynamic specifically for snare drums played with sticks hard
An electret Apex 435 large diaphragm kit for Apex SP1 cais clear played with broom sticks (jazz, for example)
2 electro-static kit Apex 180, Apex SP1 for overheads. Yes, because Stagg CM-5050HO delivered with are not really terrible. They are desperately short of even low dynamics. In fact, the greatest part of the users use them as overhead mics omnis So while on the doc that comes with it is shown that they are cardioid. To be used thus for the cymbals.
1 pair of electro-static Apex 185 for the hi-hat (and the second, I can use it for a troixième cymbals, for example).
</ul>
Well, with no acoustic drums, I still could not test them, to be continued. I confience my instinct soundman ^ ^ And for bargain prices, I am now dressed correctly for any requests ^ ^ Especially since the microphones of the kit can be used to other applications. The second bass drum, for example, can be used to make a bass amp, mics for toms, guitar amps, etc..
Moreover, if I believe the advice of an experienced user visibly, the circle of application of these microphones can be more éllargi than I originally thought. Indeed, it seems that overheads can be used for making drums cymbals, string quartet, bass, etc. and also for dynamic percussion, notament. So it is certainly not lost ^ ^
In addition, I made a mega-deal. In fact, I paid almost half used price as the price nine that is itself already cheap ... ^ ^ ^ ^
