I'm not actually a fan of the Heil kick mic, found it had way too much bottom end for my liking. Really like the Sennheiser e902

It might not be in the same league as some if these other mics but I like my Audix D6. I find it easy to EQ to get a nice punchy thud. Only $179 MF.

We must have different preferences, I like Sennheiser but couldn't stand how thin and clicky the E902 was.  My favorite so far is still the D6, for rock style applications.

I've been out on a tour all summer using the 902 as my sole kick mic and definitely wouldn't describe it as thin or clicky.  It's been great!

I need to pick up a kick drum mic.  :P


Looking at the Audio Technica ATM250DE and the Heil PR48, or something else perhaps?


My uses will be mainly for recording jazz and funk, but I need it to be a good all around mic suitable for many different styles. Not interested in the big three (Beta52, D112, or D6). My budget is $300 or less.

Try an AKG C1000.   It'll surprise you.

Nope, sorry. The C1000 is probably my most hated microphone ever. The only way that I would take one is if someone paid me to, and then I would toss it in the lake just to make sure that no one else is cursed with having to use it and then use the money to buy any other microphone.

It's interesting that nobody has really mentioned internal with a Beta 91A. Is there a reason for this?

It's because everyone knows about that combo with any other dynamic kick drum mic.

Also, you need to change your display name to your real name per forum rules.
