I am working with a band in "online" project. Each band member records their work at home, then band leader is making the final mix. This is the reason I have purchased this set, to record my drum parts in my home drum studio.
As I am diving for the first time in drum set recording, overall I am satisfied.
Pros and cons:
- Bass drum mic is very solid and heavy. Brings the impression that is high end mic. I still struggle to record the best sound of my kick drum. I am playing metal and prog rock and could not make the bass drum to "click" on the tracks. Could be me, could be mic, could be the drum tuning. Still cannot tell for sure, yet.
-Overhead mics - I love them. The sound taken from them is nice and clear. The only thing which bothers me is that in the overall recording, my AAX metal crash somehow disappear in drums mix, which is strange. This cymbal is the loudest in my set. Still working on the best placement of the OH mics, it could be it, not the mics.
-Toms and snare mics - my toms sound fantastic on the record. On the snare I am missing more attack, but overall it even takes the specific snare ringing. I bet my snare will sound better if I place a mic on the reso head.
So far I found 1 main disadvantage of this mics. The rim attachments cannot be removed and therefore the mics cannot be mounted on standard mic stand. For me this is uncomfortable, because of the placement of my toms, I have to make strange hand curves not to hit microphone of my snare, when i am playing fills on my 10" tom.
Conclusion - best mic set for the money. I am sure at some point I will move to move expensive and quality microphones, but for the time being they are perfect so far
