Earthworks DM17 Tom and Snare Drum Microphone

Instant Game-Changing Drum Sound
A fast and easy-to-use, stage-ready mic that delivers studio-level sound on your snares and toms, the DM17 is an excellent access point to Earthworks' next-level drum microphone ecosystem. Its full frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz accurately reproduces the entire range of your toms and snares with powerful low-end, impactful mids, and crisp highs. The cardioid condenser mic capsule combines premium on-axis detail with superior off-axis rejection, rivaling the best dynamic mics and providing high gain before feedback—a critical concern for performers and engineers.
Capable of withstanding SPLs up to 155 dB, the DM17 is built to handle even the heaviest players with ease, consistently reproducing snares and toms with tight transients and a full-range, natural tonality. It's durable tour-worthy construction and rugged build quality ensure performance you can rely on, gig after gig.

RM3 Drum RimMount
The included RM3 is a low-profile, tour-quality solution for securely mounting the DM17 to the rim of snare drums and toms, eliminating the need for mic stands and enabling easy setup and precise, intuitive mic placement. The RM3 is compatible with a wide variety of metal drum hoop types and suspension mounts.
