Sounds? Good!
The DC 4000 is actually a full set of drum microphones from the t.bone, comprising three different types of microphone: a BD 25 Beta, four CD 56 Betas, and a pair of EM 81 overhead microphones featuring back-electret capsule technology. What's on offer here is a set with a cohesive and convincing sound that can easily hold its own against microphones from more established brands – and yet for a very reasonable price. On top of that, there's the typically solid t.bone build quality, all packaged in a well-made aluminium carry case, which not only looks the part but also offers reliable protection against damage. Taken together, it's a genuinely strong package for drummers and anyone who works with drums.

Is there anything they can't do?
The dynamic BD‑25 Beta microphone is optimised for bass drum duties, delivering a full and weighty sound, and its 401g build gives it a reassuringly solid feel. The CD‑56 Betas – the set includes a full four of them – take care of toms and snare, where they perform reliably, giving the drum kit an open, punchy tone. For overheads, the set includes two EM 81 microphones, whose condenser design provides a natural and spacious image of the kit as a whole. The supplied adapters also make it easy to mount all the mics on stands with either 3/8" or 5/8" threads.

Ideal for standard setups
The DC 4000 drum microphone set offers excellent value for money, making it a genuine option for anyone looking to keep costs down without sacrificing dependable sound and reliable quality. The combination of solid construction, durability, and a convincing overall output is likely to leave every drummer smiling. With its practical seven-microphone configuration, capturing a standard drum kit is straightforward: One snare, three toms, a bass drum, and the full range of cymbals can all be miked up quickly and efficiently.

About the t.bone
Since 1994, the t.bone has been one of Thomann's in-house brands, and its name can be found on devices such as headphones, wireless systems, in-ear equipment, and various microphones and matching accessories. the t.bone products are made exclusively by renowned companies who also manufacture products for other well-known brands. This provides a clear advantage: Brand-quality products at very reasonable prices. And word gets around: One in seven Thomann customers has already bought at least one product from the t.bone.
Hit them hard
The mics in the DC 4000 set stand out in this price category (and among drum mics in general) for their overall build quality. It's not just the internal audio components that're well considered – the external construction is equally impressive. The capsules of the dynamic microphones, for example, are effectively shielded by a double-reinforced grille, made from layered wire mesh to guard against mechanical damage. Alongside that, the robust housings across all three microphone types add another level of durability, ensuring they'll survive even hard-hitting live sets. At the same time, these microphones are just as capable in a studio setting, where they deliver equally convincing results at high sound levels.
