Drum Microphones UK - Into Music Store, Horncastle, Lincolnshire
Miking a drum kit effectively is one of the most important factors in achieving a great live or recorded drum sound. The kick drum microphone is typically the most critical choice — the Audix D6 is one of the most widely used kick drum mics in live sound, known for its scooped midrange and punchy low-end response. The AKG D112 MKII is a classic studio kick drum mic with a more neutral character, while the Sennheiser e602 II offers a warm, full-bodied kick sound at a competitive price. For drummers who want a boundary mic inside the kick drum, the Sennheiser e901 is a specialist option that produces an exceptionally natural kick drum sound.
For complete drum miking solutions, the Audix drum pack range — from the FP5 and FP7 entry packs through to the DP5A, DP7, and the professional DP Elite 8 — offers matched microphone sets designed specifically for drums, priced from around £299 upwards. The AKG Drumset Session 1 and Carlsbro DM7 are also strong complete pack options.
The Yamaha EAD10 and EAD50 acoustic drum systems take a different approach — combining a kick drum trigger sensor with a stereo overhead microphone and onboard processing to deliver a complete recording and monitoring solution with minimal setup. Priced from around £479 upwards, they are an excellent option for drummers who want to record or perform with their acoustic kit without a full PA or recording setup.
