Drum & Percussion

Miking a drum kit is one of the most technically demanding tasks in audio production. Unlike a vocal or a guitar, a drum kit is not a single instrument — it is a collection of sources, each with its own frequency profile, transient character and dynamic range, spread across a physical space and played simultaneously at volumes that challenge both microphones and the engineers using them. Getting it right requires microphones built specifically for the job: capsules that can handle extreme sound pressure levels without distorting, transient response fast enough to capture the attack of a snare hit or the crack of a rimshot, and form factors that mount practically in the tight spaces a drum kit demands.

beyerdynamic's drum and percussion microphone range is engineered for exactly that environment. Dynamic and condenser capsules cover kick drum, snare, toms, hi-hats and overheads with microphone-specific voicings that suit each source rather than compromising across all of them. The TG D series drum microphones are built for professional live and studio use —handling the physical abuse of a live stage while delivering the transient accuracy and low-end control that studio engineers demand from overhead and close-mic positions alike. All backed by a 2-year warranty.
