Instant Game-Changing Drum Sound

Found with the biggest names in music and on the biggest stages in the world — Earthworks drum mics are literally game-changing.

DM17 is the easiest, most accessible path to our signature premium sound on snares and toms.

The Best of Both Worlds

DM17’s tight cardioid pattern is engineered to provide the premium on-axis detail you’d expect from the best condensers, with superior off-axis rejection that rivals the best dynamic mics.
