D12 VR large-diaphragm dynamic
Serves as the included kick-drum microphone.

Independent shopping perspective
This eight-mic AKG package lays out a complete drum setup: D12 VR for kick, four D40 dynamics for snare and three toms, matched C214 condensers for stereo overheads, and a C451 B for hi-hat. The D40s mount to snare and tom rims, keeping those positions off the floor and reducing stand use. Clamps, shockmounts, stand adapters, and a metal road case support organized setup and transport. Its 155–164 dB maximum SPL ratings suit loud stage and studio sources.
