Overview
The drum kit – it’s not just a collection of drums and cymbals. It’s an instrument, and magic happens when you master both the details and the big picture. Each microphone in the Earthworks DK7 kit is a best-in-class drum miking all-star single-handedly capable of elevating your drum sound. All together they create magic.
Performance - Whether live onstage or recording in the studio, this system captures a larger than life drum sound. Onstage, it delivers sound so natural and detailed that the sound emanating from the PA makes it seem like the drummer is right in front of you. When used for recording, it'll reproduce your drum kit with exceptional detail along with pristine sound, faithfully reproducing the true character of the performance.
It features a near-perfect cardioid polar pattern that remains consistent across all frequencies, thus simplifying mic positioning which virtually eliminates phasing issues, and ensures enhanced signal gain before feedback. The transient response of the DK7 is lightning fast, easily handling sharp attacks while still picking up all of the subtlety and nuanced dynamics of your playing. Even the loudest drummer won't overload the DK7 DrumMic™, which can deftly handle high sound pressure levels.
Construction - Built to stand up to the rigors of the road while still providing the audio quality that Earthworks is known for, the DK7 Drum FullKit offers the best of both worlds. Capable of withstanding a stray stick hit, the DM20 DrumMic takes the worry out of close-miking of toms and snare. Its right angle microphone head enables you to easily and precisely place the microphone where you'll get the best drum sound. Featuring a stiff yet flexible gooseneck, the microphone will stay put once you have found its sweet spot.
