Customer Review Summary
The Lewitt Beatkit is an affordable four-piece drum mic set that has proven to be a fantastic addition for both home studio recording and live performances. The DTP 340 REX bass drum mic effectively enhances low-end frequencies, making it a great choice for capturing powerful kick drum sounds. The LCT 040 mics work excellently for hi-hat and ride cymbals, while the MTP 440 DM is ideal for miking guitar amps, showcasing the versatility of this set.
The overall sound quality is impressive, providing a crisp and punchy tone that rivals more expensive brands. While it may not meet the standards of professional studio quality, it certainly delivers outstanding results for demo recordings and smaller venues. The build quality of the mics feels robust and reliable, instilling confidence in their performance.
It’s worth noting that these mics require phantom power, which may not be compatible with some older or smaller mixing desks—a detail that could be highlighted more clearly. Nevertheless, for under £500, the Lewitt Beatkit comes highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their drum recording setup without breaking the bank.
