I am a regular drummer at my church and my drum kit is not caged and the church space does not require heavy amplification like a club. We bought this mic set to capture and isolate the main instruments from the general mix: snare drum, kick drum, hi-hat, dedicated cymbals. The sound quality of the microphones is above average, but not first class. For example, the kick mic is not Shure 91A compliant. The included all-metal mounting hardware feels solid, and the included stands, cables, and mic carrying case make this set a very impressive value. If you are looking for a great value kit that has everything you need to polish a large kit in a combo package at a very reasonable price then this is it!
