What Makes The DM6 Kick Drum Microphone So Good?

The DM6 is absolutely unfair to all other mics on kick drum and bass amps.

"The dynamics and great transient of DM6 are spectacular. It sounds very good, the size is very practical and has a powerful sound.”— German Tarazona, Front of House Engineer for Maluma

The transient, the speed of the sound capture, is why you hear Earthworks drum mics whenever you watch a Drumeo tutorial video.

It's why you see Earthworks drum mics on every drum streaming channel.

It's why it was an all Earthworks stage at the 400th anniversary party for Zildjian.

And it's why Earthworks the fastest growing drum brand out with every A-List Engineer and Top Tour.

"What I liked about the DM6 was the fact that it has a plug it in and go vibe! Powerful low end, great detail and punch. Everything you need when you’re miking up your bass drum either in the studio or live." — Omar Hakim, Legendary Session Drummer

In this video, two Earthworks employees discuss the thought process behind making the DM6.
