Superlux DRK K5C2

Obviously not the best drum-mics in the world, but for the money they're very decent and should suit any project studio's needs perfectly.
The mic clips are rather flimsy and I imagine they'll have to be replaced sooner rather than later, but it isn't a big deal.
The mics come in a really nice sturdy case with storage for mic cables which are provided, but not the best quality. That being said most other manufacturers wouldn't even consider providing anything in the way of 'free' to their customers, and seven free mic cables are better than zero free nothing!

Overall it's the best quality you're going to get without paying double the price and even then you'd have to have pretty decent treatment and a good ear to notice the difference.

Also, Superlux have a tendency to make music equipment that shouldn't sound anywhere near as good as it does for the price, and for the price you're paying you're getting a Lot!

Will do the job!

The plastic mounts are very fragile. The metal case is awesome but they could have made a better handle and latches for it.

The mics themselves are ok. Overheads are very hot and fragile enough (one of ours died a year in) and the kick mic lacks the ooomph we were looking for so we replaced it with a d112. Fine mics for a home studio or pub band looking to mic a kit with a reasonable level of quality.

We actually found better use for the kick mic by putting it into the bottom of a cajon and using a 57 on the front.

Great little mic kit, especially like the inclusion of XLRs for each mic. Easy to fit, cables are decent length and mics work flawlessly.

Sound decent enough for demos on an acoustic kit, haven't done any real mixes yet but I reckon they'd be fine too.

Clips have been mentioned as flimsy, but after 10 uses I've not damaged one yet, just be gentle with your gear.

Great set for youtube drummers, demos or perhaps small venues.

Bass mic should be replaced. lacks umff.
also we had some issues for that mic connector that we have to force plug in other cables.
overheads and other mics are ok. the sound guy have some work to do before soundcheck but everything works fine for the price.

the holders are fine, they do the job nothing more to expect

Included cable's aren't that bad, but we had used them once.

logistics with included case are okay too. it can hold some pressure

Bargain!

This set has been used several times for recording now, it is fantastic for the price! All of the mics are great quality and the sound from recording cannot be faulted. The only thing that could improve this set, would be an upgrade to the mic clips. Overall I would highly recommend this set for anyone on a budget, but upgrade the clips

For the price not bad
mr p 28.04.2014
For features sometimes you just need low cut switch and there is no one. There is nor info or manual where mics patterns would be shown. Can't really understand what you are really doing with mics.. Overheads are prettty nice sounding. For that price they sound perfect. Well I can't say the same about kick mic and snare mic. With kick mic it's pretty hard to achieve sound you would like to hear. And snare mic is strange soundig mic. Can't tell what's wrong ith that but it's just not right. In overal mics sounding I can tell that for the price it's good stuff and you can't find any better.
Quality of mics are not the best. Only overheads are made really good. Other mics are cheap made. The view inside the mics didn't made me very happy.
In total rating I wold say that mics are worth the price you pay.

As Expected

Considering the cost of these mics and allowing for how long I've used them I am pleasantly surprised at their consistency .
Only point worth mentioning is clips are a bit fragile so be careful .

Good value for money .

Good but could be better

Definately not studio-grade, but most certainly adequate for most recordings you want for home purposes!

Drum Kit Mics
Dogwizard 26.01.2015
I used these last Saturday for the first time. The quality feel of them is remarkably high. I did not use the clamps that came with the kit as they just didn't feel as though they were up to the job, I bought t.bone SRM1s as a replacement The Mics worked well, no difficulty whatsoever on getting a nice sound from the ones used. The Kik mic was used on the floor tom, two tom mics were used on toms and two overheads. I used a Superlux HI 10 on the Hi-hat.

Very good !
Anonymous 03.05.2014
I purchased this to make a demo with my band. the kick has unbelievable low end punch ! the tom mics are very good. The overhead are clear and present. though the clips arent the best of quality but for 140 you cant really ask for that much

we also recorded bass with the bass mic and its very good
