Take the guesswork out of drum miking and treat your set to precise, natural DPA sound reproduction with the DDK4000 Drum Microphone Kit. The microphones in the kit were specifically selected to complement each other and allow you to effectively mic up your kit in one complete package that's ready for touring, live performances, and in-studio recording sessions. The kit provides one 4055 kick drum mic, one 2012 cardioid condenser mic for the snare, and three low-sensitivity 4099 instrument mics that can handle extreme SPLs.
