Bundled together into a B&H Kit for your convenience, this package—centered around the Shure DMK57-52—gives you the necessary mics for reinforcing drums in a small- to medium-sized live venue. First, you’ll find Shure’s DMK57-52 kit, which provides three SM57 dynamic microphones, one Beta 52A mic for the kick drum, and all the necessary drum mounts. Then you’ll note the portable, collapsible boom stand with a height range of 22.1 to 31.5”. This stand, sporting durable steel construction and non-slip feet, can be used to place and secure the kick-drum mic. Finally, you’ll make use of four XLR cables; these have been provided for routing sound from the mics to the house PA.
