Earthworks DK25/L DrumKit System (Live Performance Version) Details

The Earthworks DK25/L DrumKit is for live performance and has three SR25s: two for overheads and one for kick drum, a KickPad and a windscreen. The patented cardioid pattern on the SR25 provides a more uniform off-axis response and has less susceptibility to acoustic feedback. The DK25/L is also ideal for use with multi-miked drums (four or more mics) in either live or studio applications. In such cases it is recommended that two SR25s are used for overheads.

Earthworks High Definition Microphones will provide a substantially better drum sound than conventional microphones. The DrumKit Series three-microphone systems provide a more cohesive and unified drum sound. You’ll hear more attack, more subtle detail and a more pristine quality in the sound than with any other microphones. The Earthworks drum microphones capture every nuance of sound from each piece of the drum set with such an exceptional clarity and cohesiveness, which make it sound like a live set of drums, not a bunch of pieces.
