(More customer reviews)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.
