The best overhead drum mics will glue the whole kit together in a brilliant way and do more than just capture the sound of the cymbals.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Drum Mics for Overheads in 2021<\/h2>\n<p>A matched pair of either small or large diaphragm condensers is usually the first choice for drum overheads. When you get a properly matched pair from the factory, you can minimize annoying phase issues that plague multi-mic recordings.<\/p>\n<p>In professional studios with a collection built over many years, engineers will often go for the best of the best. A pair of Neumann KM 184s, AKG 414s, or Neumann U 87s make excellent overhead drum mics. But, these are prohibitively expensive, with the 184s being the most &#8216;affordable&#8217; at around $1600 per matched pair. Fortunately, there are amazing microphones out there for the normal budget, so you can still make fantastic drum recordings without needing to spend $6000+ on a pair of U 87s!<\/p>\n<h3>Best Drum Overhead Mics Under $500<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/KMmJ9\">Lauten Audio LA-120<\/a><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51182\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51182\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51182 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2.png\" alt=\"5 Best Overhead Drum Mics for Detail &amp; Clarity_2\" width=\"500\" height=\"499\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2.png 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2-20x20.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Best-Overhead-Drum-Mics-for-Detail-Clarity_2-385x384.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauten<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lauten makes some seriously impressive microphones that aren&#8217;t just &#8216;good for the price&#8217;\u2014they&#8217;re actually amazing, giving microphones that are 3 or 4 times the price a run for their money.

What immediately struck us about these microphones is their form factor. They&#8217;re very small and ridiculously lightweight at just 1.6 oz a piece, but still feel well made.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s sort of an afterthought, but weight is a consideration for the best overhead drum mics because you&#8217;re literally standing them up in the air.
