imho invest in a good kick mic like a Audix D6 or a shure beta 52 ...
Hey,
I am looking to purchase 3 tom mics and I also need a kick mic to complete the set. My friend has the other over heads and snare/hat etc
Just need those last 4
I was looking at the APEX DP5 basic kit that has all I need for 200 bucks (Canadian).
Is that a step up from the DP1? and what about DP6??
What if I spend say an extra hundo or so and get a basic kit like that for about 300 or so.. will that make a night and day difference or very minimal?
Thanks..

might want to consider shure 57's for the toms ..great mics and can be used on just about anything
I found locally a used 4 piece setup of AKG mics for $350 (from a music store not a private sale) that includes a D12 kick mic. Not sure what the tom mic models are though but from what I can see on ebay the D12 is about 500 bucks new?! to me $350 for all 4 sounds like a solid deal??

Need another opinion please
Would you choose the AKG pack that I mentioned above for 350 used or a brand new Shure pgdmk4 pack for 300 bucks?
Thanks

IMHO, I don't think you could ever go wrong using Shure mics. I exclusively use SM58 for vocals, SM57 for toms, snare and hats, Beta 52 for the bass drum.

seems like an overwhelming win for shure from here and FB
thanks all

would probably choose the AKG pack over the Shure pgdmk4
oh ya.. why would you say that? expand please on your choice
so I am basically down to a few options yet
1. AKG pack including the D12 mic for 350 used
2. Shure pack for 300 new
3. Apex 4 piece pack for 200 new
4. or buy the apex pack for 200 and use the 3 tom mics from it, sell the bass mic in it for whatever I can and buy a Audix D6 used for $175.
choices!!!! darn! lol

A bit off topic with this question (apologies) but can anyone explain what goes into making the few microphones I have seen that cost $5,000 or $6,000? Do the ones that cost that kind of money sound that much superior to ones that run $2-300? I know that all questions of this type are completely subjective, but curious what those who have an opinion have to say. Similar question for preamps/channel strips. I'm planning on a complete recording setup for my drums sometime soon, so I'm interested for my own benefit!
Now, just a tiny bit less than an absolute drum newbie

ok I ended up getting the AKG pack. it consists of 1 D112 kick mic and 4 (not 3) tom mics that retail about 250 each. Cant remember the model but I googled them and swee****er has them for 250US
For $350 Canadian I think I scored a heck of a deal!!!
