We are personally inclined towards pyle drum mic kit, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. The pyle line includes a wealth of products and accessories designed to enrich your media experiences at home and on the go. It is accessories for your ipod, all types of cables and adapters, vintage turntables, noise-cancelling headphones, and more. It is designed for bass drums & low frequency instruments, the small drum mic is for tom & snare drums & the overhead condenser mics are for cymbals, pianos, & vocals.
The drum mic’s are dynamic mic’s which do not require phantom power. The meshes are all metal with built-in windscreen on the under-side of the mesh. The Mics are awesome, really easy to use and mount, and they sound great even out of an inexpensive software. The tom/snare mics are the best, followed by the overheads which are phantom powered condensers.

Great drum mics for someone who is getting into recording
Microphones small and very good quality
Excellent kit of microphones, with exceptional quality and great cost benefit

Next on the list, we've got yet another kit that manages to win our hearts. It's the godpsmusic drum mic kit and it's widely considered as kit that has the most suitable features. It's an awesome mic set. The DP7 drum mic pack contains (2) ADX51 small diaphragm condenser mics typically used as overhead mics. It works well for drums from 18" up to. The snake then runs to the main soundboard and gives the sound engineer the ability to control the volume, etc,for the drum kit. It is good for rim-mounted clamps and provide a good range of mounting options, plus the mics are relatively small so they are not completely in the way.
The mic stands are adequate and the best part of the add-on's. The mixer would need to be also connected to a speaker or speakers to allow you to hear the microphones. If you want mics for recording or live shows this will meet all your needs and then some mics.
Why We Like This:
Much much warmer and crisp sound
Two d2 dynamic drum microphones for rack toms
Four d-vice rim mount clips for the snare and tom microphones
