Close Miking Toms and Snares with the 

DM20 DrumMic™ Microphones

Inserting the DM20 Microphone into the RM1 RimMount

The RM1 is designed specifically for the DM20 allowing you to mount 
the microphone on the side of a tom or snare. The RM1 can also be 
used on the top or bottom of a tom or snare.

It is suggested that you insert the DM20 microphone into the RM1 Rim-
Mount™ prior to attaching the RimMount™ to the drum.

The suggested procedure to insert the DM20 microphone into the 
RM1 RimMount is shown in Figure 5.

 First, 

place the mic head and the 

gooseneck into the rubber holder from the bottom of the RimMount™ 
(2). Push on the body of the microphone from the bottom (XLR connec-
tor end) to move the microphone up inside the rubber holder (3 & 4). 
The fit will be firm, so you will need to apply a little pressure to move 
the microphone body up into the rubber holder. 

Mounting the RM1 RimMount™ to the Drum

The RM1 RimMount™ is designed for metal drum rims, and will not 
work on wooden drum rims. Attaching the RimMount to the drum rim 
is quite easy.  While reading this section, please refer to Figure 6-A, 
which shows the various elements of the RimMount™. First, loosen the 
thumbscrew so there is more than enough space for the Delrin® cush-
ioned rim-guide to clear the bottom of the drum rim. Then determine 
where on the drum rim you want to place the microphone and then put 
the top “hook portion” of the RimMount bracket over the desired place 
on the drum rim.
