Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A five-microphone kit for miking a drum kit. For players and engineers recording or reinforcing full drums, not single-source work.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Recording a full drum kit in a home or project studio
  • Live drum reinforcement for a working band
  • Replacing a piecemeal collection of mismatched drum mics

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Vocalists or podcasters who need one good mic
  • Anyone with fewer inputs than five on their interface
  • Budget setups where $825 buys other gear first

Audix DP 5A 5-Piece Drum Mic Kit construction detail

Detail 01

5-piece kit

Covers kick, snare and toms as a matched set, so drum-to-drum tone stays consistent.

Detail 02

Bought as a kit

One purchase instead of five, and the pieces are chosen to work together on a standard kit.

Detail 03

$825 for five mics

Roughly $165 per mic — mid-tier per piece, but the kit price is a serious commitment.

Detail 04

Drum-specific design

Built for the high volume and transients drums produce, which general-purpose mics handle less gracefully.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How many mics are in the kit?

Five. It is set up to cover a standard drum kit — kick, snare and toms.

02Do I need a five-input interface?

Yes, if you want all five mics live at once. Five mics need five preamps and five inputs.

03Are overhead mics included?

The kit is five pieces covering the core drums. Plan on sourcing overheads separately if your setup needs them.

04Can I use these live?

Yes. A matched drum mic set works for both stage reinforcement and studio recording.
