Shure PGDMK6 Takes Out The Guess Work

Anyone who's ever recorded drums knows what a chore it can be. Not only do you need a set of quality microphones, stands and cables (not to mention a color-coded chart and detailed map to navigate the mess of XLR's you've created) you're also going to need a well thought out plan for mic placement so as to avoid any crosstalk. Sound like a lot of work? It is. Thankfully, Shure took out the guess work with the PGDMK6 6-mic package.

Shure PGDMK6 Has Performance Gear Quality

Shure's Performance Gear series microphones feature the same durability and quality of their more expensive world-famous microphones but at a better price point. The Shure PGDMK6 takes their own drum-centric microphones and puts them in one even more cost-efficient package that includes cables and a case to protect 'em. The Shure PGDMK6 package includes one Shure PG52 for kick drums, three PG56's for your snare and toms, and two PG81s for use as overheads. To complete the pack you get clamps and mounts to easily position your mics right where you need them.
