Shure PGADRUMKIT7 – 7-Piece Professional Drum Microphone Kit

Product Overview

The Shure PGADRUMKIT7 drum microphone kit is a complete seven-microphone package engineered for full drum kit coverage in live performance, recording, and commercial AV installations. Designed for house of worship, broadcast studios, and auditorium AV deployments, the kit pairs the PGA52 kick drum microphone with three PGA56 snare and tom microphones, one PGA57 instrument microphone, and two PGA81 condenser microphones for overhead coverage. All mics, mounts, cables, and a carrying case are included, making this a self-contained professional drum mic set for AV integrators and facilities managers sourcing complete solutions.

Product Description

The Shure PGADRUMKIT7 consolidates seven dedicated Shure microphones into one professional drum microphone package, eliminating the need to specify and procure individual models for each drum position. The PGA52 captures low-frequency kick drum impact, the three PGA56s handle snare and toms via integrated drum rim mounts, and the PGA57 covers additional percussion or instrument inputs. Two PGA81 cardioid condensers deliver clear overhead capture for cymbals and ambient room sound — essential for broadcast-quality drum reproduction in auditoriums and production environments. Each of the seven XLR-XLR cables measures 4.6 meters (15 feet), providing sufficient reach for standard drum kit configurations without patch panels. The zippered carrying case simplifies transport and storage between venues. For integrators specifying individual kick drum microphones for higher-demand applications, the Shure BETA 91A offers a half-cardioid condenser alternative.
