Best Kick Drum Mic?

The M-88"TG" was made in response to kick drum use. Same polar response, different diaphragm and suspension, IIRC.
How often will either submodel fail? Depends on the drummer/genre/placement. That a model was built to accommodate drum use kind of tells me Beyer didn't want to do warranty replacements at the then rate of failure. What is that rate? Dunno.

Mine is a TG. I'll use the windscreen. It's an amazing kick mic. Thank you Tim

Has anyone here tried the Beyer Boundary mic? I'm wondering if they might have learned from the 88 and make something that sounds the same and is a bit more sturdy?

I use the Beyer TG-D71 boundary mic on kick drums and I like it. It's slightly more compact than a Beta 91. It sounds good and eliminates a mic stand and therefore the opportunity for a performer to knock the bass drum mic out of position. I use an Audix D6 when I can't use the Beyer.

I use one for exactly the same reason, its nice to eliminate the stand on some of the narrow stages we end up on, my back up is a D112.
