Great Set Buy Them
by Paul from Brass City,CT, June 2008
Music Background: Drummer, Recording Engineer
I have to say I though I was going to get what I paid for, cheap mics at a cheap price. Boy was I wrong. This set has fantastic SPL handling and accurate reproduction and you get eight. Project Mix board required attenuators. But, as a drummer I can tell you, buy these with confidence and don't look back.
Samson 8Kit
by JP Crabtree from Galatin, TN, May 2007
Music Background: Engineer/Musician
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 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.
Wasn't sure what to expect, but wow! What a deal!
by Ryan Richardson from Bellingham, WA, February 2005
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 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!
