- Can any of these mic packs beat the Shure SM57? We tested all the drum microphone kits we could find in the store at Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center... DPA, Audix, Sennheiser, sE, Neumann, and Earthworks were all put to the test! What were your favorites?

Wow the quality of production and reviewing is great
Thanks really glad you enjoyed it!! 👊
before reveal, I was thinking c was se and g sm57.... but finally this video confirm to me the idea earthworks is not the best mic kit...
anyway I like more the any other beta 98 am/c, got to checkout
Great video! Thanks for helping me decide.
My budget is going with Audix.
good choice! at the studio I run we currently use the Audix tom mics, they are doing the job well!
Not suprised by the results
Great shootout! Thanks for doing this :)
You’re welcome! 👊
I have the Audix D series. Love them! Just a warmer overall sound to me. SM57 on snare bottom.
That’s a good combo!!
Great video! I happened to just purchase the se v kick so I'm happy to hear how it did in this context. Do you guys recall what eq settings you had the mic set to in this test?
I don’t know!! But try each setting and see what you like best for your kit and room!! That’s the most important thing anyway :)
appreciate the efforts!!! what were the overhead mics used during the Audix pack demo?
The Audix pack is the DP7, we left a link to the mics in the description 👊
Well, I was way wrong in which one was the Shure pack! But I agree the SE had the best overall sound. Really surprised by the price and quality disparity with these packs. This was great though. I wish I had 42 mics to experiment with. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! I wish I had 42 microphones to experiment with too hehe 😜
Very cool blind test! I loved the Audix sound! Quick question though: as the the Audix DP5A doesn't come with overhead condensers, what did you use for the overhead mics? Was it just the other (2) D2's since you only had one tom?
Good question. The DPA pack was not the DPA5A like I listed in the video, that’s a mistake on my part. That pack is the DP7 like you’ll find in the description!
