  • THREE ADX51S FOR OVERHEADS AND HI-HAT: The ADX51 is a pre-polarized condenser microphone designed to handle a wide variety of live, studio and broadcast applications. Characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern and a smooth uniform response over a frequency range of 40Hz-20kHz, the ADX51 is precision machined from solid brass with a low reflective black e-coat finish.
  • I5 FOR SNARE: The i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50Hz-16kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140dB, the i5 can be used for a wide variety of applications and for all genres of music.
  • D4 FOR FLOOR TOM: Make sure your sound's low-end has that propulsive kick! The D4 really puts that extra "oomph" in your kick drum, bass amp, and other low instruments thanks to its flat, linear response. Since this kit comes with the D6, Audix's premier kick drum mic, a good application for the D4 with this kit would be the floor tom.
  • TWO D2S FOR TOMS: For bringing out the real, dynamic sound of your drum toms and congas, nothing beats (pun intended) the D2! The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and punch you listen for from percussion, leaving out the muddy, indistinct "boom" that can mar recording. The D2's natural warmth also makes it a great mic for saxophones and other woodwinds requiring a true, sensitive, yet big, reproduction.
  • D6 FOR KICK DRUM: The D6 has a frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D series percussion and instrument microphones very popular for today's live stages and recording studios.

Looking for the Perfect overhead drum mics - What to Consider Beforhand

Can you record drums with a condenser mic?

Not only do dynamic mics have their use on stage – condensers are great for studio recording too! Their most common use is as overhead drum microphones, where they capture the room's acoustic sound, resulting in more natural drum recordings.

What are good overhead drum mics?

The 11 Best Overhead Mics for Drums (With Audio)
  • Soyuz 013 FET Stereo Pair (Pro)
  • Neumann KM184 (Pro)
  • Shure KSM137 Studio Pair (Mid-range)
  • Behringer C-2 (Budget)
  • Rode M5 Overhead Mics (Budget)
  • Audio-Technica AT4041 (Budget)
  • Neumann U87 Stereo Matched Pair (Pro)

Where should drum room mics be placed?

The mics should be between 6 to 10 feet in front of the kit, and should sit just on the edge of the kit on the same plane and exactly parallel to each other. The distance is determined by the balance of the kit. Place the mics at the spot where the kit is most balanced.

Is Blue Yeti good for recording instruments?

The Blue Yeti Nano is great for recording electric guitar through an amplifier. The Blue Yeti Nano sounds great for a sub-$100 USB microphone. The cardioid pattern accurately picks up speech, and it handles plosives pretty well for a mic that isn't a professional XLR microphone.

Editor's Notes

To find the best of the best, we've analyzed 58 different options of overhead drum mics available out there. Our editors have read over 1239 customer reviews and shortlisted the 45 best overhead drum mics according to the pros and cons most customers stated.

Steve loves music. Steve Romanoski and his wife live in Alaska. They are always on the go, exploring new places and trying out new products (especially those which can help them enjoy the great musics even more). When he's not writing about products, Steve Romanoski enjoys reading books about history and science. He likes to think of himself as a renaissance man, but his wife would probably say that he's just a big kid at heart.
