No, but it's pretty expesnsive (around $2,000), not in the same class
as the $199 5-mic kits. I suppose that anyone who has miked a drum kit
with three omnis will have a pretty good idea of what it can do.

For $2k, though, you might get a pair of Schoeps omnis for overheads on the
used market, with enough left over for a 421L for the kick.
