Drum Microphones

Drum microphones are designed to capture the power, detail, and dynamics of a drum kit in both live and studio environments. Because drums produce fast transients and very high sound pressure levels, dedicated drum mics are built to handle impact and volume while delivering clear, controlled sound.

Different microphones are used for different parts of the kit. Kick drum microphones focus on low-end weight and attack, snare and tom mics capture punch and articulation, and overhead microphones provide balance, cymbal detail, and a sense of space. Room microphones are often added to capture ambience and depth, especially in studio recordings.

Drum microphones are chosen based on sound character, placement flexibility, and reliability. Whether used individually or as part of a matched drum mic kit, the right microphones make it easier to achieve a balanced, professional drum sound for live gigs, rehearsals, home recording, and full studio productions.

Tom Mic

A tom mic is designed to capture the full body and attack of tom drums while controlling bleed from nearby cymbals and snare. It delivers focused punch, clear tone, and consistent response across fills and grooves, helping toms sound powerful and defined in a mix. A good tom mic makes toms translate cleanly in both live and studio settings, preserving impact without unwanted noise.
