Pyle7-Piece Wired Dynamic Kit-Kick Bass, Tom/Snare & Cymbals Microphone Set-for Drums, Vocal, & Other Instrument-Complete with Thread Clip, Inserts, Mics Holder & Case, Black

Before ordering this drum mic set, I had conflicting opinions on the Pyle brand. As a teenager, I had a Mazda Protégé with two 12" Pyle subs and they SLAMMED. A few years later I figured I'd order another Pyle sub. I had problems with it immediately.We finally got a house where I could create a jam room. I knew I'd need to be able to record my drums somehow and this product sparked my interest. I bought this Pyle PDKM7 drum mic set and was extremely impressed immediately. Here was my setup. I had one mic on the snare, one on the kick drum, and the two condenser mics overhead. I think my demos sound good. I would highly recommend.If you want to hear them, I uploaded my demo to YouTube. Look up Project Juice "Quick Release ".

I have to say for the ultra low-price, you are getting a METAL CASE FOAM PADDED with LOCKING HATCHES, HIGH QUALITY MICS MADE OF MAGNESIUM METAL HOUSING AND GOLD XLR PINS, VERY TIGHT AND EXCELLENT DRUM MOUNT CLIPS WITH METAL SCREWS, MIC STAND ADAPTER (with convertible size from mini to a 5/8th standard mic stand diameter)...The attention to detail on the mics are great. At first, I thought the mics were plastic housing with plastic mesh... ONCE I RECEIVED IT, I KNEW I WAS WRONG.... ALL THE MICS are magnesium body and are quite weighty for their size. the metal body is actually quite thick, and feels rugged. All the XLR pins are indeed gold plated... The meshes are all metal with built-in windscreen on the under-side of the mesh...For the price, the construction and durability of the Pyle Pros seems to be top-notch!The quality of the mics are very similar to the 7-piece AUDIX drum mic kit, but at the cost much much less...EXCELLENT QUALITY for recording with the right EQs and recording settings.. With all the mics, it really give an excellent soundstage playing it back... (((*** I am using an AKG Q701 and AKG K702 and AudioTechnica M50 for playback)))The only mics that NEED PHANTOM POWER are the overhead condensers. All the tom/snare and the bass drum mics are dynamic mics and can run with out phantom power. Having said that, you can run the tom/snare and bass drum mics with either XLR to XLR cable or a XLR to 1/4" cable....I also found the condenser mic to be bit multi-functional... (Since I don't use the included overheads for my drum recording (I used my old pair of SM57s), I am using the Pyle Pro condensers on my PC as a general Skype conferencing microphone, and it works GREAT as a speaking microphone...The drum mounts are VERY EXCELLENT... It is EXTREMELY TIGHT snap on your drum rims... In my case, I am recording my Yamaha Birch Custom Absolutes which has die-cast rims, and it clips on extremely well. I also tried the mounts on my Yamaha Recording Custom which has the triple-flanged Dynahoops, and snaps on just as well as my Yamaha BCAs...The only downside with the mic mount is that taking it off require a bit of a force.... And since I constantly changing my drumkits for recording different genres, getting the clip off can be a bit troublesome... (If you are using the mics on just ONE drumkit, then it should be no problems....I really like the metal case.. It feels good, and I do not have to worry about bumps and putting my drums on top of the case in the back of my trunk when I go for a live gig (Yes, I also used these for Live as well)...For the price, getting the metal case is an ultra-bonus. From other competing brands, you are only going to get a soft case or a plastic molded hard case and it would actually cost around $200...With the price of the Pyle Pros approx $120, you are getting High-Qualty Magnesium Mics, Good Designed Clips, Metal Case etc.. is a STEALFORGET ABOUT THE BIG BRANDS...Get the NOBODY KNOWS BRAND : Pyle Pro, and snicker at other people who spent loads of money on getting the BIG BRANDS, but SAME QUALITY!Higher Price DOES NOT EQUALS TO Higher QualityThe Pyle Pro PDKM7s are CHEAP and are EXCELLENT QUALITY...My recommendation is BUY NOW!!!!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this kit back in 2021, and have been putting it through the wringer to this very day. The overall quality of build is phenomenal for the price. I still have each mic in the condition I bought it in. The raw sound is far from perfect on the shell mics but what you capture is detailed enough to mix with ease in any DAW. The overhead mics are the outcasts, however. The pickup range with each are disgusting and you have to hi-pass the crap out of the raw sound just to barely use it in a mix. Aside from the overheads, the kit as a whole is tremendous for its selling price. Of the video I attached, the recorded audio using these mics are the toms, hi-hat, china, and snare. I did process the audio, but let it show that what you capture with these mics are good enough to work with.

The short mikes are great at getting in tight spaces. The bass mike I’d very good (buy a bass drum mic stand) I was going to hang mine inside the bass drum with the cable going through the unused Tom arm holes (I have a rack system) but my heads are solid and didn’t want to remove them. They pick up very well. Very happy.

I’ve recorded an awful lot of drums in my day, and having sold the high end stuff am looking for bargains. This set fits the bill just fine. I was initially a bit surprised by the sounds of the mics, but then I realized I typically EQ and compress the drums in similar ways anyway.The kick mic isn’t too tubby or too scooped, and it has the brights turned down. It’s nice and small to fit into a smaller front port, the cheap Heiyu mic looks to have the same element inside but a wastefully large basket.The snare/toms mics are also nice and small, they aren’t very bright either but allow a bright transient with a fairly rich but not overwhelming low sustain. Exactly what you want for toms...for snare top & bottom I think the Pyle 78 with and/or without a transformer added may be a better bet and use these for a rack of 4 toms.The SDC pair is really thin, the chart says it rolls off under 600Hz but hey that gets rid of the muddy boom from the drums. There is also a 10K peak that gets a shiny stick definition out of the cymbals. I didn’t find them brittle to handling like another report mentioned...? But I wouldn’t use these for anything other than drum/percussion overheads.The SDCs are fairly low output too to avoid the need for a pad but the dynamics are quite hot so some inlines may be needed if your preamp doesn’t have enough headroom.The biggest minus with this set is the clips use plastic 5/8 and 3/8 threads rather than metal, but hey, it’s $16/mic and they sound great. When a particularly flailing drummer breaks have them buy another set for the price.

I'm a drummer in a band and have been playing paid gigs for 50 years. I bought a set of these Pyle mics for my drums in 2010. So, I've had them 14 years and played a lot of gigs with them. To sum it up in one word. AWESOME!!! Would i buy them again? Yes! But, I don't need to. I go by the philosophy... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it. " the case is still in great shape, the mics do a great job. Love em.
