The BEATKIT brings together dynamic and condenser microphones selected to cover the key sources of a drum kit with a simple logic: one specialized microphone per role. The goal is to achieve a solid result from the first take, with a stereo overhead pair already matched to secure the image and balance, and dynamic microphones capable of handling the high levels of a kick drum and snare. The result: a homogeneous pack, relevant for recording as well as sound reinforcement, without multiplying references or complex settings.
The LEWITT BEATKIT is aimed at drummers, home studio users, sound engineers, and stage managers who want a reliable, quick-to-place solution that is easy to amortize across varied sessions: rock, pop, funk, metal, punk, afro, worship, or live capture. If you are looking for a drum microphone pack capable of producing a solid kick, a present snare, and natural cymbals, this set allows you to build a clean mixing foundation, with a stereo overhead pair already calibrated to speed up workflow.
The DTP 340 REX is designed to capture the kick drum with precision. Its main asset is the presence of two presets (switchable sonic characteristics) that allow you to quickly change the intention: more weight in the low end or more attack to cut through a dense arrangement. In the studio, this helps choose a direction without going through a long processing chain; on stage, it's a real time saver when soundchecks need to remain efficient.
The MTP 440 DM aims for a punchy snare sound: the attack remains clear, the body holds, and the presence facilitates integration into the mix. It's the type of microphone that suits both strong rimshots and more nuanced playing, with a signature that helps the snare stay upfront without forcing the EQ. For multi-mic takes, it naturally integrates with the kick drum mic and overheads to maintain a "block" drum sound.
The LCT 040 MATCH are small-diaphragm condenser microphones perfectly matched, designed to achieve balanced and reproducible stereo. Their excellent transient response preserves the natural character of the hi-hat, cymbals, and snare, while maintaining a sense of air and detail. Their lightweight and compact design facilitates positioning above the kit, even in tight spaces, and speeds up setup both in the studio and on stage.
