Okay, so the t.bone DC 1000 is a solid entry point for anyone looking to mic a full drum kit without spending a fortune. The bass drum mic is surprisingly capable, and the snare/tom mics will get you in the ballpark – just be prepared to roll off some highs and add a touch of warmth. It's perfect for bedroom recording or a gigging band on a tight budget.

While possible, the slightly boxy character makes them less than ideal for vocals; they're better suited for louder, more percussive instruments.
They're fairly standard and should fit most common drum sizes, but extremely thick or unusually shaped rims might present a problem.
