    Back in the days when concert toms were the norm it was common to mic them from underneath and place the mic up inside the drum. It would be interesting to know how these sound when mic’d the same way. It might add a little fullness to the sound.

    What I appreciate is that one of those MD421s costs a lot more than the drums. (I understand using an elite mic to get an accurate representation of the drums, but it's still funny).

    how much did it cost for your ears? from conception, baby thru education to now. All up, including food and shelter, entertainment and all incidentals. Add the costs to start up the internet, wire the earth and generate all that electricity for the server farms. Chuck in the wars over commodities and the human cost to refugees for protecting your countries trade routes. it's still funny?

    I have a Tama Superstar Hyperdrive as my home/practice kit, and unsurprisingly this little pancake kit sounds a bit light and flimsy compared with it. But for the size of it, it sounds pretty beefy. The mics might have a bit to do with it, and I wasn't using headphones, so maybe my impressions are not as good as the kit itself?

    Hi Mark, the Pancake kit solves the issue of portability of a drum set but with this there are some trade offs in terms of hardware weight and size. We wouldn't recommend touring this kit in a rock band, but it makes a great practice or function band drum set. Have you checked out the Tama club jam? I think this would be more suited to you.
