Samson 5kit Drum Microphone Package Review

The QKick mic with this kit is nice and deep, with attack, and lots of body. You will get a boomy sound if you place it in the hole of the front head, and you can get a more sharp attack pointing closer to the beater and adding a little EQ. You'll need a low profile floor stand for the QKick. The QSnare mic has a nice sound but perhaps a little too much low end extension. Remember, placement is half the game with mic-ing. The QKick, with a metal body, feels very high in quality, whereas the snare and tom mics have plastic bodies and feel very cheap.
Now, here's what makes this kit such a great deal for a budding amateur mnusician/studio hobbyist like myself: The QTom mics, although they look the same as the QSnare mic, are not quite as bright, but to get a great studio drum sound, what you really need are the QKick, then a stereo condenser overhead pair, like the CO1H or CO2, which pick up all the cymbals and the toms, and then the QSnare, in that order. What do you do with the QToms? Use two of them as a cardioid pair to mic the guitar cab(s) in stereo. They are not a lot different sounding than a Shure PG58 or Samson R11, which are also perfectly decent guitar cab mics for the amateur. And that's testing them with vocals. Try'em out if you don't believe me. Only problem is that the Tom mics don't mount to mic stands, but have their own drum rim clip system.

A comprehensive drum mic set up in a sturdy road case, the Samson 5kit has you covered for snare, kick, and tom miking. A perfect way to grow your mic collection and start capturing live drum performances.

One Q-snare for Precise Snare Drum Miking Designed for high SPL and durability, the Q-snare is specifically voiced for miking snares. A rim-mount mic clip with cable management lets you attach it directly to the snare's rim.
One Q-kick for Capturing Bass Drums The Q-kick is a superbly made kick drum mic, featuring a cardioid polar pattern to reduce feedback. Rigid, and featuring a huge diaphragm element, the Q Kick sounds better than a lot of more expensive kick mics.
Three Q-toms for Dynamic Tom Miking The Q-Tom was specifically designed as a complete solution for tom-miking applications. Capturing the deep low frequencies along with crisp attacks, it employs a tight super cardioid pattern to reduce feedback and increase side-to-side rejection in close-miking situations. The Q-Tom features an integrated mounting clip that easily installs on any standard drum rim, and carrying pouch.
Road Case Included The complete kit comes packed in a rugged road case, ready to haul to your next session.
