Intelligent design. Sonic accuracy.
Robust build.
A bold new approach to miking toms and snare.
The DM20 makes whatever drum you’re miking sound like just that―you. Whatever you put in front of the microphone comes back to you without hyping or hiding anything. Crafted out of stainless steel, its rugged build guarantees uniform performance, on the stage and in the studio.





Isolation Like Never Before
Massive rear rejection and a polar pattern that’s consistent across the entire frequency range means any off-axis leakage is virtually nonexistent.

Electrifying Onstage
A small diaphragm capsule coupled with a proprietary Class A amplifier circuit. A staggering max acoustic input of 150dB SPL. An incredible transient response delivered with each hit.

It felt like taking a pair of isolation headphones off and listening to the actual natural sound of everything. Stunning!
Earthworks mics allow me to capture how my drums sound in the room, and pass along information in a truly transparent way.
Earthworks mics have the detail and clarity I need in the studio and on stage. I have never heard my instruments sound this REAL!!!!
