One Q-snare for Precise Snare Drum Miking
Designed for high SPL and durability, the Q-snare is specifically voiced for miking snares. A rim-mount mic clip with cable management lets you attach it directly to the snare's rim.
One Q-kick for Capturing Bass Drums
The Q-kick is a superbly made kick drum mic, featuring a cardioid polar pattern to reduce feedback. Rigid, and featuring a huge diaphragm element, the Q Kick sounds better than a lot of more expensive kick mics.
Three Q-toms for Dynamic Tom Miking
The Q-Tom was specifically designed as a complete solution for tom-miking applications. Capturing the deep low frequencies along with crisp attacks, it employs a tight super cardioid pattern to reduce feedback and increase side-to-side rejection in close-miking situations. The Q-Tom features an integrated mounting clip that easily installs on any standard drum rim, and carrying pouch.
Road Case Included
The complete kit comes packed in a rugged road case, ready to haul to your next session.

Great mics, great price
The QKick mic with this kit is nice and deep, with attack, and lots of body. You will get a boomy sound if you place it in the hole of the front head, and you can get a more sharp attack pointing closer to the beater and adding a little EQ. You'll need a low profile floor stand for the QKick. The QSnare mic has a nice sound but perhaps a little too much low end extension. Remember, placement is half the game with mic-ing. The QKick, with a metal body, feels very high in quality, whereas the snare and tom mics have plastic bodies and feel very cheap.
Now, here's what makes this kit such a great deal for a budding amateur mnusician/studio hobbyist like myself: The QTom mics, although they look the same as the QSnare mic, are not quite as bright, but to get a great studio drum sound, what you really need are the QKick, then a stereo condenser overhead pair, like the CO1H or CO2, which pick up all the cymbals and the toms, and then the QSnare, in that order. What do you do...

EXCELLENT FOR THE STARTER
GREAT MICROPHONES FOR THE STARTERS, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT WITH THEM.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL, YOU CAN ACHIEVE A GREAT SOUND WITH THEM, BUT IT DEPENDS CONSIDERABLY OF YOUR RECORDING AND MIXING ABILITIES.
the tom and snare mics are fine, but the Kick mic is terrible.
The tom and snare mics give a reasonably faithful and full sounding reproduction of the snare and tom drums. But the big setback to this setup is the Kick drum mic. It sounds terrible. I have an awesome sounding gretsch bass drum with nice bunch and a beautiful deep resonance. No matter what Filrer or eq trick I use in the recording process the sound that comes through the mic sounds dead, weak and..poppy. It gets the definition, but very little of the drum's natural resonance, sustain or tonal quality ( yet still manages to pickup bleed from the other drums nicely). If you buy this set of mics or any other set of Samson mics, The first thing you need to do is toss out this bass drum mic and get something else.....anything else.
And second.... get some overhead condensors for the cymbals.... I prefer something with some warmth like a set of sterling ST31 or 33's because their tonal warmth balances out the coldness of these samson mics....... or just go for a couple of akg...
