When it comes to musical instruments, most have a similar look and feel. An acoustic guitar is similar to a resonator, which is similar to a ukulele. However, there is one instrument that is quite unique and that is the pan drum. What makes this instrument so unique is the shape and design. What looks like a turtle shell, the pan drum is able to give amazing vibration sounds from different parts of the instrument. In order to properly mic the pan drum some creativity is needed and you’ll end up with a bunch of overhead microphones getting in the way of your ability to play the pan drum. That is until now. Myers Pickups has created a pan drum microphone that easily clips to the side of the pan drum out of the way of your performance space. We’ll go over a few different options of pan drum microphones you can use to properly mic your amazing pan drum and really get those vibrating tones to resonate the whole room.

The Feather Pan Drum Microphone

The first pan drum microphone we will look at is the Myers Feather microphone System. This pan drum microphone has a battery-powered preamp with volume control. Easily control your volume level on your pan drum microphone during a recording or live gig. Extending out from the pan drum microphone is a long 48” pan drum microphone. This pan drum microphone easily clips on to the side of the pan drum and catches every note ringing from the pan drum. The pan drum microphone will keep the clear and natural sound of this beautiful instrument. Most other pan drum microphones distort the sound or give it an unnatural metallic sound. Myers Pickups does not. Listen to your pan drum through this pan drum microphone and you will hear the same acoustic sound only louder. The pan drum microphone can be moved around to microphone up the best high and low frequency combination.

The Feather-2 Pan Drum Microphone

The second pan drum microphone we are highlighting is very similar to the first, however this pan drum microphone has two pan drum microphones to catch a wide range of tone off of any pan drum. This pan drum microphone has the same battery powered preamp system allowing you to plug in and play with no extra power needed. A small volume knob on the pan drum microphone allows you to stay in control of your sound. Extending out from the pan drum microphone enclosure is not one, but two pan drum microphones both reaching 48”.

The Feather-Duo Pan Drum Microphone

The last pan drum microphone we want to share is the Myers Feather-Duo microphone System. This pan drum microphone sticks with the same structure and features as the first two, however offers a new and convenient feature only available with this pan drum microphone. This pan drum microphone has the same small battery-powered preamp with a volume knob. Instead of having the pan drum microphones built in to the pan drum microphone, the pan drum microphones are able to plug in to the pan drum microphone allowing you to plug each pan drum microphone in and out of one pan drum microphone preamp. The beauty of this design is that you can remount your pan drum microphones to multiple pan drums and easily switch between each of them simply by plugging in one pan drum microphone to your pan drum microphone preamp and unplugging it and swapping out the pan drum microphone with another. During a live gig this is virtually unnoticed as you move between different style of pan drums and percussion instruments. Achieve ultimate freedom with this pan drum microphone system.
