Heil Sound has premiered three drum microphone kits, the HDK-8 Primo, the HDK-7 and the HDK-5. All of the HDK drum kits feature proven microphones from the Heil Sound product line as well as several new mics designed specifically for demanding drummers. “Think of it as a greatest hits boxed set with previously unreleased bonus tracks. Only instead of CDs you get top-of-the-line drum mics.”
That’s how company founder and president Bob Heil describes Heil Sound’s first foray into package drum mic kits. The HDK-8 Primo kit consists of two PR 22s, a flagship mic in the Heil Sound product line that is already in use by many world-class drummers for snare and high hat. Three PR 28s for toms, two PR 38s for overheads and one PR 48 for kick round out the package. All three models are new and have features, both sonically and physically, that make them ideal for miking drums. In addition, a new tom mount called the HH-1 is included. The HH-1 is a breakthrough mount that was developed with input from Hunter Herman, jazz drummer, producer and studio owner who also engages in metalworking as a hobby. His input has been invaluable, hence the model designator HH-1
