Pre Owned Pyle PDKM7-C Overhead Condenser Microphone
Includes mounting clip and windscreen
Excellent condition
The Pyle PDKM7-C is the overhead condenser microphone included in the Pyle PDKM7 7-piece drum microphone kit. Unlike the PDKM7-A (kick drum) and PDKM7-B (snare/tom) dynamic microphones, the PDKM7-C is a back electret condenser microphone designed to capture the higher frequencies and detail of cymbals, hi-hats, and the overall drum kit.

What it's used for
The PDKM7-C is intended for:
- Overhead drum miking to capture the full drum kit
- Hi-hats and cymbals
- Percussion instruments
- Piano
- Other acoustic instruments where a more detailed, sensitive microphone is beneficial.
Sound quality
Because it's a condenser microphone, the PDKM7-C is more sensitive and captures more detail than the dynamic microphones in the kit. It reproduces cymbal shimmer and the overall ambience of a drum set better than the PDKM7-B, making it the preferred choice for overhead applications. While it won't match the clarity and low-noise performance of professional overhead microphones from brands like AKG, Shure, Audio-Technica, or Rode, it performs well for:
- Home studios
- Live performances
- Practice spaces
- Budget recording setups
