Know before you buy
Yes, the set includes seven microphones specifically voiced for kick, snare, rack toms, floor toms, and overheads, covering a standard kit configuration completely.
The included DVICE rim clamps are designed to fit most standard drum hoops. However, if you use specialized wood hoops or non-standard rim profiles, you may need to use separate floor stands for those specific drums.
Absolutely. The DP7 is engineered to handle high sound pressure levels, making it robust enough for loud stage environments while maintaining the clarity and detail required for professional studio tracking.
The set includes the microphones and the rim mounting clips, but it does not come with XLR cables or microphone stands for the overheads. You will need to provide your own cables and two boom stands for the overhead microphones.
The included heavy-duty aluminum flight case features custom-cut foam inserts that keep each microphone secure and protected from impact, making it ideal for gigging drummers who move their gear frequently.
