Stone Rocks Drum Mic Kit
"Drums, in my opinion, are the most important part of most current rock-oriented music. I started out my career as a drummer, so now as a sound engineer I pay a considerable amount of attention to the specific details of drums and cymbals and the individual technique of the drummer." - Andrew Stone, Church Production Magazine
This exclusive drum mic kit represents the final drum setup used by the late, legendary audio engineer Andrew Stone before his passing in 2019. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and world-class mixes, Stone pushed the boundaries of live sound, particularly during his time as Production Director at Church on the Move.
This kit showcases the culmination of his years of experimentation and refinement. It features a hand-picked selection of premium microphones from Earthworks, DPA, AKG, and Mojave — brands known for their pristine capture, precision, and musicality. Each mic was chosen to serve a specific role in Stone’s sonic vision, delivering a drum sound that was both powerful and surgically clean.
Whether you're a touring engineer, studio producer, or a fan of Stone’s legacy, this kit offers a rare opportunity to work with the exact tools he trusted on stage.
Microphone Brands Included:
Earthworks – Renowned for their fast transient response and clarity
DPA – A favorite of Stone’s for capturing nuanced detail
AKG – Industry staples that brought punch and warmth
Mojave – For rich, natural overhead and room tones
More than just a collection of high-end gear, this mic kit is a tribute to one of the greats in live sound. Experience the tone, texture, and technical precision that defined Andrew Stone’s approach to mixing drums.
