Not bad at all! Loved the tom, snare and overheads, not quite the kick so much, but it sure works. Definitely not a barrier to getting good drum tracks!
I was handling the live audio for a low budget monthly live music series last year in the city library system. The mics they had were mostly Pyles. I had a lot of occasions to use them with the whole gamut of instruments, both for the house and in recording, and those cheap buggers were a pleasant surprise. I can't remember what model they were but they were ordered by non-audio pencil pushers so I can guarantee they were at least close to the cheapest available. One caveat was the terrible handling noise (maybe of that particular model). And they had a cheesy, lightweight feel that didn't inspire confidence that they would survive a fall off a stand. But they sounded pretty darn ok.
I think one of the issues with the kick mic may be that it does have some large amounts of handling noise...I filled it with expanding foam today, we shall see, when the kids are done practicing Ill swap the kick mic back out for the pyle
If it's an overhead mic of course not. But I can EQ Close mic on every mic we use to overcome any capsule. Even that boomy ass AKG I mentioned. I should clarify that it's Channel Filters pre fader first, then EQ.
