The DM20 2nd Gen tom and snare drum microphone from Earthworks delivers an unparalleled live sound experience. Building on the success of the original DM20, this second-generation model improves usability and performance. You'll get the full, resonant tone of a condenser mic with the durability and feedback resistance of a dynamic mic. Whether recording an album or performing on the world's biggest stages, the DM20 Gen 2 helps you achieve your ideal drum sound.

Road-Ready Electronics

Earthworks upgraded the DM20 Gen 2's internal components to handle the rigors of touring. The mic draws less phantom power and includes extra safeguards against damage from accidentally plugging in a hot mic. These enhancements make the DM20 Gen 2 more robust and compatible with a wider range of gear. You can plug in and play with confidence, knowing this mic was built to withstand real-world conditions.

Faster Setup, Tear Down

Earthworks redesigned the DM20 Gen 2's rim mounting system for speed and convenience. The new rim mount attaches and detaches from your drum kit in seconds, saving you valuable time during setup and teardown. It's compatible with most drum types and sizes for simple integration into your existing kit. When inspiration strikes, you want a mic that's ready to capture your performance without hassle or delay.

Versatile Performance and Recording Mic

While optimized for live drum reinforcement, the DM20 Gen 2 excels in other applications. Its condenser clarity and dynamic-mic feedback resistance make it ideal for recording drums in the studio. It's also a great choice for streaming, podcasting and video. Whatever your needs, the DM20 Gen 2 delivers professional-grade audio with plug-and-play performance.

Earthworks Quality

Like all Earthworks mics, the DM20 Gen 2 is designed in the USA to the highest standards. It features a tight cardioid polar pattern, excellent off-axis rejection and high SPL capability to capture every detail of your drum performance without distortion. The included gooseneck mount provides precise positioning over your drum shells. With a balanced, natural sound right out of the box, the DM20 Gen 2 helps you achieve studio-quality tone for live shows and recording.
