The Drum Mic Kit includes three SM57 microphones, one Beta 52A microphone, three A56D drum-mounting systems, and a lightweight carrying case

• The SM57 is the industry standard for snare, and a reliable, high-performing choice for toms. The Shure SM57 features a contoured frequency response that cuts through the mix with exceptional impact, while reproducing sound accurately.
• The BETA 52A is perfect for the kick drum, this mic derives low-end punch and sonic presence from a carefully tailored frequency response. Equipped with its own pneumatic shock mount, the Beta 52A is designed with an integral locking stand mount for easy set up.
