Zoom R16 has served me real well ever since I got it a year ago no problems,glitches and real surprised for its performance on as a USB audio interface (Bus Powered), a few plus points with this baby here is the 2 onboard mics, the "Hi-Z" input , the onboard Zoom amp simulations, portability (it's very light + runs on batteries too!) , and able to wire up another R16 to record 16 channels in stand alone mode. I use it for :
- jamming preproduction recordings
- All my location drum recordings at various bedrooms/jamming studios/etc for my works.
Wharfedale KMD-7 is a 7 drum mic kit that comes with a nice hardcase, built like a tank, compact, and the great part about it in my opinion is the mic mounts and the great price tag of $300SGD (currently at citymusic year end sale)! I truly wished they had these around when I first started cos even copy mics used to cost an average of $70 onwards and excluding the costly mic mounts.
Another review here ..
so why Wharfedale KMD-7 together with Zoom R16? Because Zoom R16 being the more cost effective audio interface/recorder + the 7 drum mic cheapest drum mics I've come across, I had to test it and see how it works together best bang for buck. Pair them off together and getting the XLR cables , a couple of mic stands, headphone amps+headphones/PC speakers etc. and you get a full recording function at under $1K - $1.2K which would be ideal for bands who have their own room studio if every member chips in.
Apart from saying "google for other people's reviews" cos i'm not much of a writer. but I must link this champion here for he's put the R16 to the detailed test. @ http://jamon.name/Hardware/Zoom+R16
