A Drum Mic Kit With Overheads!

The Drum Mic 8Kit is the latest convenient drum mic package from Samson. The 8Kit has been designed to accommodate the growing number of drummers who like to use full-size condenser mics as overheads. The Samson 8Kit is a package perfect for miking a full-size drum kit in any studio or live setting.

Samson Drum Mic 8Kit at a Glance:
  • Complete microphone package ideal for miking drums in a studio or live environment
  • Includes 2 large diaphragm condenser overhead mics plus 6 other special drum mics
  • Tom and snare mics include built-in rim mount clip
  • Gold-plated XLR connectors for long-lasting service

The complete mic package for studio or stage drum kits!
Unlike many other drum mic "packages," the Samson Drum Mic 8Kit gives you all the mics you need to set up a standard drum kit for studio recording or stage miking. Eight quality mics, specially designed for snare, toms, cymbals and overheads, come packed in a rugged road case. And if you've used Samson mics on drums before, you know that they deliver a ton of punch and tone without overloading!

For overheads, two large diaphragm condensers
More and more drummers and engineers are turning to large diaphragm condenser mics for overhead drum setups. The 8Kit features two large diaphragm Samson C01 Condensers for the full-spectrum overhead imaging these mics provide. Three Q-Tom microphones are included, perfect for dynamic tom miking A Q-Snare is provided for precise snare drum miking with the "crack!" you need. The popular Q-Kick captures the low end attack of the bass drum without bottoming out. And a new C02H Mini Pencil Condenser Mic is ideal for hi-hat or ride cymbal.

No "Forest" of mic stands needed!
Sometimes you can't see the drums - or the drummer - for all the mic stands! Samson solves this problem by outfitting both their Q-Snare and Q-Tom mics with attached rim mount clips. these sturdy clips let you position the mics exactly as you want them without getting in the drummer's way. Saves space, saves the burden of carrying extra stands, and looks great!

Gold-plated connectors and rugged construction
All of the microphones in the 8Kit feature gold-plated XLR connectors that will provide years of reliable use. Each mic in the 8Kit set is ruggedly built and can stand up to the types of abuse that inevitably fall on drum mics. Plus, the Drum Mic 8Kit comes packaged in a rugged road case for easy travel and storage. It will give you years of service under demanding conditions!

Jeff Rodgers
This pack not only gives you 8 really great sounding drum mics, but a collection of mics that you can use throughout my studio from guitars to vocals. A huge value considering the quality you get at that price!

Simply Amazing!

My churches youth ministry needed some mics for their drums. We were lookin at the Shure PG6 kit and almost bought them. At the last minute we decided to give these a shot. We just set them up this we... read more [+]ek and we could not believe how great the mics sounded! The lows on the kick and tom mics are amazing and the quality of the condensers and snare mics is incredible. I used to think that the board we have had horrible pre amps but now I realize that we just didnt have the right mics. I cant say enough good things about these mics. They are by far better than the Shure PG6 kit, we will be buying another set for our main church drum kit! close [-]

Samson 8Kit

I have been an engineer for the past 6 years and have worked in many studios in the Nashville, TN area. I must say these microphones blew me away! The only reason I decided to get these instead of any... read more [+] other drum mic. package was that this package came with more mic's. I didn't think that quality from anything near this price range would vary much. As soon as I heard the kick I knew I had made a very good decision and the 2 large diaphragm condensers sound amazing. They capture the spit of the Hi-hat and the crispness of the cymbals like microphones 4 times as expensive.

All I can say is you will be very happy with these mic's. close [-]

Wasn't sure what to expect, but wow! What a deal!

by Ryan Richardson from Bellingham, WA

Music Background:
Just purchased the mic set from Sweetwater last week and recorded a 12 song project last weekend. I was very amazed at how incredible the sound was. The large condensers were solid and got a really ... read more [+]nice overhead mix. I usually do on the fly drum replacement for the kick and snare regardless of the sound I get, but in this situation I was unable to find a better sample of a kick drum than what I had already recorded with the Samson mics. Also, the drummer kept hitting the snare mic with his sticks and it seemed to hold up well under harsh conditions. At the end of the weekend, I was holding 12 solid drum tracks that sound better to me than any of the studios in town. The only dissapointment to me was the Floor Tom. I think they could have made a specific mic for that. Overall, this is a fantastic investment to any studio, and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Sweetwater! close [-]
