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 mi-
crophone 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 RimMount™
prior to attaching the RimMount™ to the drum.
To insert the DM20 microphone into the RM1 just insert the mic head and the
gooseneck into the rubber holder from the bottom of the RimMount™. Push on
the body of the microphone from the bottom (XLR connector end) to move the
microphone up inside the rubber holder. The fit will be firm, so you will need to
apply a little pressure to move the microphone body up into the rubber holder.
The suggested procedure is shown in Figure 6.

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 7-A, which shows the var-
ious elements of the RimMount™. First, loosen the thumbscrew so there is
more than enough space for the Delrin® cushioned rim-guide to clear the
bottom of the drum rim. Then determine where on the drum rim you want to
position the microphone and place the “hook portion” of the RimMount bracket
over the desired place on the drum rim.
