Most time I receive tons of complemnts from the drummer...My Kick drum never sounded so good.

     That seems to be a common practice with some of the guys that work at Ultra sound too.

I think I'm going to try it at my next gig.

A lot of the guys running the national rigs seem to use a combo condenser/dynamic kick drum mic type of setup. The FOH Tech for Toby Keith even used a Beta 52, a Beta 91 and a Yamaha Sub kick at We-Fest this last summer in detroit lakes mn. It was a pretty cool mix, I got to chill @ FOH with him, and he was pretty cool. It was an interesting mix to play around with, it was great.

When they were here in Phoenix a few , he used a D6 just off the beater, a D112 in the hole, and the Yami Sub Kick.

Hi all,

I have to say i always use two mics. Beta 91 inside and a Beta 52 or D112 outside in the hole. now obviously you can't polish a turd so tuning is important.

take care

The RE20 is a great mic if you want your kick drum to sound like a monkey beating on a suitcase with a rubber mallet.  

If you want it to sound like a kick drum, go for the Audix D6 or an E602 from sennheiser.

Hello,

With front open kick drums (Skin with a hole), I usually use inside the kick a omni microphone, for example a TC30K from Earthworks, this offers me better bass extension (You need to tie the sub-bass system), fast response with better definition on the bass than conventional cardioid dinamic mic. With close front (No hole), I get very good results with the Eartworks SR25, with or without the inline kick eq.
