Great for pop and rock bands, these bass drum mic's are pre-equalised with a mid bass scoop to remove the mush to of your bass drum sound so you get the boom and slap you want without the waffle!

These little EV mic's are brilliant devices. They have a pivot between pickup and output barrel which allows you to position the head in the sweet spot of your drum. also great on snare top & bottom and on horns comes with the hoop grip clip pictured.

Floor tom, kick or deep snare mic

Electro Voice EV ND46

This mic also has a pivot to help position in the perfect spot on your drum. Great on floor tom because of its extended low frequency response however it's fantastic on deep snare drums for plenty of oomph! comes with the Audix D-Vice clip pictured.

Snare or brass mic

Beyerdynamic M201

This is my favourite mic for snare drums! It captures the transient really nicely and has a natural low end roll off that removes some of the spill from bass drums and toms. Also fabulous on trumpet and small brass instruments.

Full bandwith dynamic mic

Beyerdynamic M88

Great for sources with a lot of low end so bass drums, bass guitar, double bass, cello etc. Also lovely on saxophone and low register brass. It's also really nice on spoken word so ideal for podcasts or as an interview mic.

Overhead or acoustic instrument mic

Audio Technica ATM450

These little beauties are "side address" microphones unlike a lot of small diaphragm condenser mic's they "listen" out the edge, not the end which makes them really handy for tight mic'ing situations.

Multi purpose or podcasting mic

Sennheiser MD421

Amazingly these mic's have been around for decades and they're still used every day by pro studios on any source! I love them on spoken word. If you're making a podcast, hire one of these!

Moving head lights

These lights can react to sound, do a handful of pre-programmed movements or be controlled by DMX. In sound to light mode they look like this: Here I have four lights, three slaved off one master and two set up to mirror what the first two are doing. Hope you like the drumming, yes, it's me!
