Overview

An easy-to-mount drum mic delivering signature sound for toms and snares.

The Earthworks DM17 is a game-changing microphone designed to capture the nuances and dynamics of your snare and toms with exceptional accuracy and detail. Combining Earthworks' renowned sound quality with an affordable price point and intuitive design, the DM17 is the perfect choice for drummers who demand the best.

The Best of Both Worlds

The DM17's tight cardioid polar pattern delivers the exceptional on-axis detail you'd expect from a high-quality condenser microphone, while its superior off-axis rejection rivals that of the best dynamic mics. This unique combination ensures that your drums cut through the mix with clarity and presence, while minimizing bleed from other instruments.

RM3 Drum Rim Mount for Effortless Positioning

The included RM3 drum rim mount is a low-profile, tour-quality solution for securely mounting the DM17 to the rim of your snare drums and toms. This eliminates the need for mic stands, enabling easy setup and intuitive mic placement. The RM3 is compatible with a wide variety of metal drum hoop types and suspension mounts, providing flexibility and convenience for any drum setup.

Exceptional Performance and Reliability

The DM17 is built for the rigors of live performance, with a 155dB SPL handling capability that prevents clipping even from the loudest drummers. Its high gain before feedback makes it ideal for stage use, while its balanced, vibrant, and natural sound ensures that your drums sound their best in any setting. Whether you're playing live, recording in the studio, or capturing a live stream, the DM17 delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

Features

  • Tight cardioid polar pattern for superior off-axis rejection
  • RM3 drum rim mount for easy setup and positioning
  • 155dB SPL handling to prevent clipping
