zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Complete drum mic package.

Do you feel like you could be just a bit louder? Maybe your band thinks the drums need to be brought out a bit more (yeah right!). Or maybe you just want to show them who really leads the band. With this drum mic package, you make sure your being heard, live or not.

D 112
This microphone was developed for clean kick drum and bass guitar performance with a powerful, punchy sound.

Absolutely free of distortion even at high sound pressure levels, very low diaphragm resonance, a relatively narrow-band rising high frequency response at 4 kHz, and an extremely robust construction are the outstanding features of this microphone.

C 418
The C418 offers a rugged adjustable clip-on design with elastomer shock mount suspension for impact resistance. It has a 50-20kHz response and a max SPL of 131dB @ 1% THD and 140dB @ 3% THD.

The second generation of the AKG MicroMics is the result of long-lasting research work conducted with well-known musicians and experienced sound engineers. Several different types of microphones serve every possible situation for vocal and instrumental users: The C 418 is a drum and percussion microphone, which clamps on the rim of the drum and reproduces a punchy sound that easily cuts through the mix.

C 419
The C 419 has a tight hypercardioid pattern makes it problem free for stage work near floor monitors. Natural sound is retained via the flat response with a gentle high frequency peak of the transducer element.

I will probably sell the smaller mics but keep the D112
Sound
The D112 sounds awesome but the other mics that come with this are garbage for recording toms and snare, they sould very very high pitched due to the midbass roll-off. I am using them to mic my cymbals now and they sound great on the cymbals so I guess it is not a totall loss for me. I bought sm57's for the toms and snare to replace.
Features
I wish they used a thicker cable with these guys, cable is super thin and super long and can be tripped over easily due to being practically invisable against dark floor or carpet. I wish they did not even have attached cables. I like to choose my own. I might cut them down to shorten them.
Quality
Look pretty durable, but we will see.
Value
The D112 is worth it but the rest... Well save your money and buy sm57's. SM57s sound a lot better.(more bass and mids)
Manufacturer Support
N/A haven't had to call them.
The Wow Factor
I have them, and am very sad. It was a poor purchase but I am making due. Using the mics in a way that they were not intended (using on cymbals clipping to cymbal wing nut)

Musical Style:

Everything but country.
