About this item
- The industry standard for snare drum, and a reliable and high-performing choice for toms, Shure's cardioid dynamic SM57 microphone features a contoured frequency response that cuts through the mix with exceptional impact, while reproducing sound accurately.
- Perfect for the kick drum, the supercardioid Beta 52A derives its low-end punch and sonic presence from a carefully tailored frequency response. Equipped with its own pneumatic shock mount, the Beta 52A is designed with an integral locking stand mount for quick-and-easy set up.
- Shure's A56D universal drum mounting system can be used to position microphones virtually anywhere - on drum rims, microphone stands, even cymbal stands. Designed with captive parts to prevent the loss of individual pieces, the A56D is small, secure, and can be used with any standard microphone, making it a great tool for both stage and studio environments.
- Top quality microphones and an affordable price makes the Drum Mic Kit an exceptional value for the performing drummer.
- Suggested Applications: Kick Drum, Snare Drums , Rack/Floor Toms

Great sound per dollar Quotient
Standard mics for live performance. More expensive gear out there but these are great for average live music performers and sound engineers. Don’t use mounting clips so don’t know how well they work.

This set is marketed as a "drum mic kit" but ...
This set is marketed as a "drum mic kit" but of course they can be used on anything. The shure sm57 paired with a MD421 is my preferred setup for guitar and 2 sm57 for the top and bottom snare. The beta52 can capture some beefy low end so I use it for inside the kick drum as well as bass amps. Definitely worth the price.

Great mics for a great price
This offer is a steal, and the clamps that come with the mics are very nice. You'll need a heavy-duty boom or low standing mic stand for the 52A. Some of the metal washers had slipped out of their plastic bags during transit and I had to search through the case for them, but everything was inside when I received the package.

Husband approved
My hubby is a musician and records in our basement. Granted the acoustics aren't great but we've taken some effort to put up think blankets/carpeting/etc. He was recording on two bluebirds before, and moving to this kit has COMPLETELY changed the sound quality (for the better I might add!), even in our crappy makeshift "recording studio." He's using Garage Band to edit, and has nothing but raves about these mics.

Best mic set ever
The bass mic alone has saved my recordings. A little $ but I haven't had any problems recording. Good investment if you want quality.

its what every major band and recording studio use.
this kit is great. the b52 is the standard in every world class studio. and the sm57 is the work horse for most every situation. great on the drums but its also great for most everything else. i use the b52 on kicks and on bass amps in my studio. i first got it because every major recording studio uses them and i can see why. there really isnt another option.

What a great kit!
This kit is a great deal for the price. While it serves quite well as a drum mic kit, you also have the option of breaking out the SM57's for other general uses, and the Beta 52 works well on bass cabs. Given that SM57's are still an industry standard for recording and live performance, you really can't go wrong with this kit.

Question & Answer
Question :
Where are they manufactured? i mean, it says: made in usa or imported, but, imported from?
Answer :
Made in Mexico.
Question :
Are there any cords? Or do I have to purchase my own
Answer :
There are no cords provided with this microphone package - you'll have to purchase your own. All the microphones have standard xlr inputs if that helps.
Question :
mic clips
Answer :
? Are you asking if mic clips are included in the DMK57-52 kit? If so, the answer is yes. You get 3 Shure mic clips for the 3 SM-57 microphones. The Beta 52 has a female end that attaches to a male screw (which is provided on the A56D universal drum mounts). Also, if you look closely at the second picture provided by Amazon (the one where the case is open) you'll see the clips attached to the end of the 57's. You get everything you see in that photo! Hope that helps.
Question :
Will the clips work for wood hoops?
Answer :
The clips will work for both metal and wood hoops. However most users find using a traditional mic stand much better because it keeps the unwanted sounds from being picked up by the mic. The clips are ok for use in a sticky live situation, but not commonly used for recording.
Question :
Are these mics better for live set ups or recording?
Answer :
Recording. I would buy cheaper ones for live
Question :
good morning , the weight of 8.4 pounds is included with the package ? ie 8.4 pounds is the final weight and packed ?
Answer :
Hi Paul, 8.4 pounds is the weight before it's boxed and packaged for shipping. That may add another pound or two. If you want an exact weight and want to order from us, we can get you that before we ship it. You can just call us for that. - Pixel Pro Audio
If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us. We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio
Question :
What is a good cheaper alternative to this kit? Less than $150 preferably.
Answer :
Probably Samson DK705 5-Piece Drum Microphone Kit & Case with 5X Mic Cable, 20 ft. XLR Bulk + Hosa Label A Cable Kit, 60 Peel Off Labels - Valued Accessory Bundle.
Question :
Where is this made?
Answer :
Most of the SM series mics are made in Mexico. This kit includes all SM series mics.
Question :
Do any of these mics need phantom power?
Answer :
No. These are dynamic mics and don't require phantom power.
Question :
Does this include the stand for the kick mic?
Answer :
I'm not sure if the product has changed since the previous answers, but no. This package did not include a mic stand for the Beta 52A.
