Blue Drum Mic Kit $2747 Inspired by some of the most important recordings in music history, Blue Microphones has created the Blue Drum Kit Kit for an easy solution to replicate the fabled '3-mic' drum miking technique that professional engineers have used for years. The Blue Drum Kit Kit consists of the award-winning Mouse and a stereo matched pair of Dragonfly microphones. These three microphones complete the sonic spectrum needed in producing a full-bodied, live recording session for the most discerning drummer and engineer.Mouse MicrophoneThe Mouse's hand-tuned capsule is specifically designed to capture the thundering lows of bass and baritone vocals and low-end instrument sources. Enclosed within a rotating spherical grille, the capsule can also be positioned and adjusted into the smallest of spaces for applications where versatility is paramount. The Mouse is perfectly suited for kick drums, acoustic bass, electric bass amplifiers, snare drums, broadcast and voiceover work, and any other sources where accurate reproduction of low frequency transients is paramount.Dragonfly MicrophonesThe Dragonfly generates a silky extended top-end, contoured midrange and a bump at the upper end of the lower frequencies that thickens thin signal sources. With an integrated elastic shockmount and rotating head, the Dragonfly utilizes its innovative industrial design to enable quick and precise mic placement on the fly. The Dragonfly is ideally suited for high-frequency sources like alto and soprano vocals, percussion, electric guitar, drum overheads, and "difficult" sources such as stringed instruments.All three mics and their schockmounts come in a protective metal case with a plush interior that had cutouts to keep your mics safe between uses.

Blue Reactor Multi Pattern Condenser Mic $499 The Blue multi-pattern Reactor pushes the envelope of modern microphone design and performance while making multiple mic setups more accessible. Reactor fuses an innovative pattern selection method with a swiveling capsule head for perfect positioning, and features Blue's premium condenser capsule, fully discreet Class A solid state components, and proprietary preamp for simple live switching between patterns (Cardioid, Omni or Figure-8). To facilitate use in multiple mic setups (like Mid/Side, X-Y), Reactor's capsule head rotates a range of 90 degrees for perfect positioning in tight spaces and easy pattern adjustability. Reactor's recording pattern selection is both intuitive and stylish, featuring LED backlighting on the pattern indicators and a magnifying element that compliments its forward-looking design.

Used B-Band Ukko-T Single Tom Drum Contact Mic $90.99 The B-Band UKKO-T single tom drum contact mic system is a remarkable way to capture the true tonality of your tom consistently, conveniently, and with extreme isolation. This system consists of two important components: the UKKO DMT preamp, built with high-quality class-A electronics, and the UKKO DST2 Contact mic for superb tone. This system will work with any size tom, and gives you high-resolution sound, and easy setup!This mic system was designed to be able to blend-in visually with the drum kit. That is why B-Band designed the DMT preamp to be chrome colored to match most drum hardware. It is an extremely lightweight system that does not add any noticeable weight to the drum, or get in the way while performing like most other drum mic systems. It also very robust and durable, and will endure rigorous touring.Setting up and tearing down have never been this easy. The DST2 has an adhesive back that mounts easily and discreetly on the inside of the drum shell near the batter head. The DST2 lead wire is fed through the drum air hole to the DMT preamp. The preamp comes with two different mounting options: mounting at the air hole outside of the drum, or a rim clamp mounting. The air hole mounting option was specially designed to not interrupt the flow of air as the drum breathes. Being as the DMT preamp is so small in size, there is no need to remove it to put the drum in its case, leave it on and be ready for the next gig or studio session. Inside the DMT preamp there are two mini switches that contour the sound for a choice of tone. One switch controls a -6dB mid cut at 1 kHz and the other is for a +6dB high boost at 5kHz.Extreme isolation of each drum with no bleed from other drumsMounts without modification to the drumReduces the need for audio gate effectsUltra-quick setupsTwo supplied mounting options for the DMT preampNo need to position mics or mic stands; just plug a standard XLR cable into the preamp and playClean looks without the clutter of mic stands

To better capture the low frequencies of the kick drum there are two mini switches inside the DMK preamp that contour the sound for a choice of tone. One switch controls a -6dB mid cut at 330 Hz and the other is for a +6dB high boost at 5 kHz.If you have a hole cut on your resonant head or if there is no resonant head on your kick drum, this will make the UKKO-K sound thinner. It is recommended to have a solid resonant head for maximum tonal quality.

Teenagers Onboard

Families are one of the fastest growing groups of new cruisers, with more than one million passengers under the age of 18 heading off on a cruise each year. The most important factors in choosing a cruise that will suit your whole family are the facilities onboard, the itinerary of the chosen ship, the cabins, and the dining options. Selecting a cruise line that has a child-friendly, and teen orientated approach, will make your holiday stress-free and enjoyable for everyone.

Research shows that the majority of 12-17 year olds prefer the Caribbean. With the warm weather and lovely beaches, they are able to relax, sunbathe, take part in water sports, dolphin encounters or even go on a boat trip. There are of course some excellent shore excursions, visiting museums, zoos, and aquariums. The main thing with the destination is that there is plenty to do, and for many teens, visiting cathedrals, art galleries or shopping is not always high on the list.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line is rated very highly as a cruise line that teenagers love, all the ships have a dedicated teen area apart from The Nordic Empress. The areas are split into two groups 12-14 and 15-17 year olds. Each of the ships is very different in regards to what you will find onboard, the Voyager class and Freedom class contain so much to keep your children entertained from trampolining, ice-skating, and even the Flow Rider machine (a surf simulator).

On the Navigator, Mariner and the majority of the Freedom Class ships you will find a Living Room area, a place full of books and computers, where they can just relax with their friends, and The Back Deck, which is a place for teens to sunbathe with their friends, an exclusive outdoor area just for teenagers. There are activities throughout the day, and in the evenings, there are clubs and teen discos open from 10.30-2am, these being The Optix or Fuel.

Both groups are free to come and go as they please, and are designed to be a place to relax and chill out with their friends, or to take part in some great activities. Your children and their friends can get involved in anything from theme nights, to a Scratch DJ Academy, Mocktail Competitions, Open Mic and Talent Contests, Teen BBQ’s, Pool parties, Teen Casino and even Unplugged Jam Sessions.

Royal Caribbean has also introduced Generation YSPA, which is a spa for 13-17 year olds.  Teenagers can come along here (with their parents if they like!) and have different treatments like Acne Attack, Fruity Facials, Mother and Daughter, or Father and Son massages, Fake Bake, Surfers Scrub, Magical Manicures, and they can even take part in their own Fitness Frenzy classes.

Another cruise line with a great reputation for teen activities is Holland America. They have an outdoor teen only area called The Loft if your teenagers – or you – need a break. This has an exclusive sun deck with a waterfall and cave. There are lounge chairs where the teens can sunbathe during the day and sit under the stars in the evening. The Oasis is another area, which runs teen discos, karaoke, video games, sports tournaments, trivia contests, and movie nights (not available on all Vista-class ships however).

Holland America also runs kids culinary classes, here they will learn basic cooking techniques, kitchen safety, how to cook with new ingredients, whilst following specific recipe instructions. These classes are a great way of being hands-on and learning from talented chefs, the food ranges from fine dining to teenage favourites.

Carnival Cruise Line is also high on the list of teen’s favourite cruise lines. They have two teen clubs Circle C (12-14 years) and Club O2 (15-17 years old). The Carnival Conquest Class ships have a 1,800 sq ft dance/night club, with computers, soda bars, amazing sound systems and more than 60 video games. Carnival Conquest, Glory, Valor and Liberty have the largest teen facilities of the Carnival fleet.

No matter what cruise line you choose, teenagers are not allowed their own cabins, most family sized cabins will have bunk beds, or you can choose inter-connecting cabins. It really depends on what sort of sleeping arrangements you are comfortable with, and what sort of cabins are available on your selected cruise, but there is plenty of choice.

One of the favourite things about cruising for families is that the food is free and available at most times, so teens do not have to rely on their parents to buy their dinner, or worry about running out of money. You will find most cruise lines offer flexible dining, whether this is in the main restaurant, or even in the smaller buffet style places. They may fancy Jonny Rockets on the Royal Caribbean fleet or The Terrace Grill on Holland America, which all offer teen favourites such as burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, there is always a great selection.

With drinks, all cruise lines offer soft drink cards or packages, whereby for a fixed price they can have unlimited soft drinks or juices. Once again, every cruise line works differently, and those who do not have these offers, tend to offer free complimentary drinks anyway. This is another way of giving your teen the independence that they so often crave, especially on holiday. These packages range from $4 a day to $10 a week, it really depends on the cruise lines individual pricing.

Taking your teens on a cruise is definitely something we can see catered for more and more on cruise ships nowadays, the activities, entertainment and facilities are improving all the time. Your cruise holiday is a time for you and your children to enjoy themselves, relax, and have the time of your lives and will allow them some time away from you – and you some much-needed time away from them!
