Best Kick Drum Mic?

Sadly in my experience, there are not enough drummers who can tune a kick drum on the 'weekend Warrior' circuit. With a decent sounding drum to start with, it is pretty quick and straightforward to get any mic dialed in but when dealing with an inferior tone along with being given very little time to tweak to help matters, sometimes short cuts can be very handy and I'd suppose I'd call the D6 a short cut.

Lack of ability, not knowing that they need to do it for good sound, or can't be bothered?

I used an M88 last night for the first time. I now know what the best kick mic is.

They are fantastic until they blow out. Then they are nothing.
