In addition, a dual material diaphragm with light and rigid sections produces optimal high frequency response. If you're making use of the latest in vocal processing, this microphone can help give your sound that studio-produced edge.

The DM7 USB Kit has a total of eight, natural-feeling, velocity-sensitive drum and cymbal pads. Drummers will immediately appreciate the DM7 USB Kit's large snare pad, which has three zones, enabling head, rimshot and cross-stick triggering. Drummers will also notice the crash cymbal, which enables them to stop or "choke" the sound by grabbing the pad with their hand. The DM7's responsive rubber pads are also both quiet and resilient for all-day and all-night music making without disturbing neighbors.
The heart of the DM7 USB Kit is its DM7 sound module. The DM7 provides drummers with a library of more than 400 drum, cymbal and percussion instruments in 80 kits. Drummers can play the 50 preset kits for extensive sonic flexibility, and they can custom-create 30 of their own. Drummers will also like the DM7's intuitive, easy-to-use controls adjusting instruments' pitch, panning and reverb level. The DM7 drum module provides drummers with valuable tools such as practice exercises, a metronome, 52 play-along songs and a 1/4-inch mix input for playing along with external music sources.
