    Default Nardy Drum Mics?

    Does anyone have any experience with Nardy Mics?

    My band hires out for sound at shows and there is NOTHING worse then when the sound guy only has a stardard 5 piece drum mic kit yet I play an 8 piece kit. So then he wants me to adjust all my drums so he can double mic toms.. It drives me nuts.

    Well a friend of mine had these is willing to sell them cheap. I looked online and new they aren't expensive at all. The entire set is like $150

    I don't plan on using the entire set. Just pack it with me so when a sound guy doesn't have enough I can supply the 2-3 extra needed mics. Should I go with these since the price is right or should I just spend the extra cash and get some good microphones?

    OK in a pinch.

    Low grade microphones. Similar to CAD if you're familiar with those.

    all the best...

    yeah like stated they are only in case the sound guy only has a 5 piece. I can save up and buy nicer ones down the line. It would be worth it I know

    Two/three extra drum mics are not an issue. My band was a 5 piece now only 4. There's two plugs right there for backup vocals and guitar amps.

    Never seen a sound guy we've played with not have enough channels to cover 2/3 extra. So no I'll keep my 8 piece I'm happy with it and have never had an issue. If push came to shove and our sound guy didn't have enough plugs I'd adapt my kit.

    Still don't understand why you waste time with junk mics and not get a decent kick. Snare and overhead like everyone else ... More mics does not mean better sound

    I have a little bag I carry a small inexpensive drum mic kit in if there is not a didicated sound company. I have a Nady D90 for the bass, with a little steel fold out stand, a SM57 for snare with a clip on mic holder, and a matching pair of Beringer C2 condenser mics for overheads with a couple light boom stands, and cables. The majority of the time I just use the bass and snare mic on a inside gig as my vocal mic will pick up too. Those mics sound plenty good for a club with proper eq, and I don't have to worry about them getting destroyed or stolen as much as if I took some high end studio quality mics out with me. Plus I can just throw that little bag in my trap case and there if I need them.

    I'm literally not using the entire kit. I'd use it just to mic two of my toms.. because some places on keep 5 piece mic kits. The mics were free I can't complain
