I have only used the DM-80 kick mic from this set, and it's just ok for kick (doesn't hold a candle to something like the SM52 or similar). But the DM80 is, and I know this sounds weird, fantastic for live vocals. I randomly tried it one night at a bar gig in an impossibly muddy-sounding room where even my Shure Beta 57 wasn't cutting through on vocals, and it instantly stood out. You have to scoop the mids and boost the highs a bit (but not as much as you'd think) and suddenly the average male tenor voice just jumps out. The mic also defies proximity effect and has a pretty wide on-axis pickup pattern, which is great for singing with your eyes shut (singers tend to wander from the mic when they do this) and for vocalists who think it's sexy to get their lips all up in the grill, which usually makes a 58-style mic go boomy. I got a lot of weird looks from people in the audience who know vocal mics, but I also got a lot of compliments on how present the vocals were in a room that is notorious for being terrible for understanding lyrics.
