Thank you SO much for showcasing our mics Nick! Your kit sounded great with them 🔥

[KennySharretts]

What I can say is after using the DK7 mics on video review of the kit, I can truly understand why I've seen these mics on so many of my fave online drummers kits, on so many product videos from companies like Zildjian, Vic Firth, and Pearl, as well as almost every video on Drumeo. Getting the bass drum mic to rock is a matter of placement.

Misread this as "Drum Milking" and thought, "There's nothing easy about milking a drum!"

Several years ago I purchased the Earthworks 3 mic system for drums. 2 overhead, kick and haven’t looked back. I still have my 421s and my SM98s but my goto is Earthworks!!
(Thanks Jeffrey Green on your advice to try them)
btw: The QTC40 is stunning on acoustic guitar

[ericstearns]

Snare and tom mics sound great, not too keen on the kick and the overheads just sound like overheads. As a set, sounds like a winner.

[MrDavemiley]

WOW ! Now that man is an extremely tasteful Drummer !

[BBT]

Those Wuhan Koi cymbals are AMAZING. The set may be 3k but honestly thats the best 3K there.

[impulseproman]

I have a match pair of TC20 Mics and I love them

[stevendierkes]

They make an sq1 sound like an sq2. So good

[marianorivera]

Man, Jon Lovits can really play.
I was waiting for him to say “that’s the ticket” lol

[FanaticDrummer]

Yea I couldnt shell out the money for the earthworks. I love the sleek design but had to go Audix 😂

[PJH]

I think I enjoy the Sweetwater video’s for the unnecessary face’s Nick always makes. 😂 he really enjoys his job.

[goodtimejohnny]

Someday I may hit the Lotto. Till then I'll be using AKG or Sure.

[paulmora]

Those Wuhans sound lit 🔥. Very impressed 😯🤘🏼

[sammcdouall]

Would a pair of Behringer ECM8000 get a bit close to these OH, or only the Audix.

[mgdrummer]

I know those SQ1 kits sound great with their stock Remo heads, I don't think those Attack heads are doing it any favors.

[impalagasper]

MY Earthworks SV33 went dead and I wanted to repair it. IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN! Support wrote to me that I should toss it(!) and get a new one, with full warranty. 😂 NIGHTMARE - those are expensive mics that YOU JUST CAN'T REPAIR. I would never believe it, if it didn't happen.

[brentharmonmusicproduction]

Earthworks Mics are nice, but they are expensive.

[JulianRedAudio]

sounds good but i rather buy the shure beta 98 amp, mostly the same quality and sound at way lower the price.

[marcvino]

Using that front bass drum head with al those holes was not the best for a test video. That's like using no front head at all. Maybe the bass mic would sound better if there was no hole or a smaller hole off set for inside mic.
