Hi, there are several different mic kit packages. The most popular one is the DP7 which includes all the mics in the video (snare, kick, rack toms, floor tom, overheads). You would need to purchase one more ADX51 for high hat.

Awesome videos... this one in particular was the most help to me. I'd been pointing my tom mics more down towards the edge and then trying tuning/muffling techniques to get a better sound through the mic. I'll try positioning them more towards the center of the head now and see what results I can get.
