The DM20 can be used on either the top drumhead, bottom drumhead 
or both. Figure 9-A shows the DM20 placed over the top drumhead of a 
snare, while Figure 9-B shows a snare drum with both the top and bottom 
heads miked.

Close Miking Toms with the DM20

The extended low frequency response of the DM20 DrumMic™ will pro-
vide a rich and full tom sound. You can mike either the top or bottom 
head of a tom with the DM20 as indicated in Figure 10 A or B, or you can 
mike both the bottom and top drumheads in a similar fashion as shown 
on a snare in Figure 9-B. 

You will notice in Figure 10-A that the microphone head is placed closer to 
the drum rim, while in Figure 10-B the microphone head is aimed toward 
the center of the drumhead by changing the position of the gooseneck. 
Experiment with the microphone head placement as the sound or tone 
can change with various placements.

Earthworks High Definition Microphones™ are widely used successfully by 
drummers with major artists in both recording sessions and for live perfor-
mance. The DM20 is designed to withstand the rigors of the road and will 
provide you with many years of exceptional and reliable results. We know 
that when you use the Earthworks DM20 DrumMics™ for your recording
