We had a small gig this weekend where we had to provide the PA and my drummer decided to rent a MD for his bass drum just for kick pun intended. I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to boost the lows a bit, but the result was a really tight sound that had just the right balance of thump and click technical terms here With the typical bass drum mic, his kick is always too clicky or too bassy. I'm wondering how it performs in a studio environment, seeing it is not suggested very often as a bass drum mic but rather has a tom mic. How does it compare to a D or Beta52A when recording?

Install the app. I use it in the drum or at the hole, and prefer it to the D, also. Speaking of which, I need md421 kick drum pick up a drum shield for some of these gigs

I realize this is an industry standard, but this has to be genre specific, right? I am not experienced with recording by any means, but the thought of using an md for metalcore double bass craziness drives me bonkers I have also heard of a 57 being used, and all I can say is that I could see these on like an indie pop type of recording where the bass is kinda there but more subconcious than anything else, but not on a metal recording, am I right? We have a pair of AKG condensers I can never remember the exact model because they aren't mine we use as overheads, we slap a 57 on the snare, and an Audix d6 on the kick In the past we have gotten a really farty ringy kick tone, but we are using someone else's kit for this recording, so I'm not sure that this is gonna be as much of a problem. The will most likely give you some midrange presence but not a ton of click or low-end punch. It has a fairly big peak in the upper mid-range which can help shoot the kick through the mix.

When the going gets tough, should the tough get a Sennheiser's drum kit microphone set? With the many different combinations of microphone types and positions used by recording engineers when miking up drum kits, Sennheiser have taken the very sensible step of compiling two sets of mics that have been proven to give good results. The MDs are specifically designed for drum use particularly snare and toms , their short bodies solving most of the positioning problems experienced with standard microphones. The integral clip assembly enables the mic to be mounted directly onto the drum rim, eliminating the need for stands. The MDs are dynamic cardiod mics with a usable frequency range of 40Hz to 18kHz, and although they may not appear very sensative at 1. As with the rest of the mics in the kit, the body terminates in a conventional, balanced XLR connector. The MD is most often seen on toms or even used for vocals, so it may seem an odd choice for a bass drum mic. However, it is a very flexible microphone, capable of withstanding huge sound pressure levels, and has a decent amount of bass extension — if ever a dynamic mic deserved to be called a Jack of all trades and master of most of them, the MD is probably it. Technically, the MD seems similar to any other dynamic cardioid mic, but the resulting sound is clearly defined, yet at the same time, solid. I seem to recall that the originals were tested on a tank firing range, with the result that they didn't distort until they reached the kind of SPLs that would make an average human's eardrums meet in the middle of his head!

While I like the idea of having this mic, I have to think about it's real practical application in my case, which would probably be kick drum, since I don't do much acoustic stuff So, my question is, on a stage full of marshall stacks, would an MD really do the kick drum any justice, or should I just hold out and get something like an Audix D6 for kick? I don't really think I can buy both at once. Why do I need cymbal overheads? I'll just use SM58s on the vocals.

At least, it wouldn't be my first choice. Post by eh » Fri Jan 20, pm jimjazzdad wrote: eh wrote Same as the snare on some deftones song sounds like a tennis ball being hit. Post by Mustang Martigan » Mon Jan 09, am. But its not over yet you have mix down to play with where you can expirement on comperssion and eq to get the kick to sit in the mix where you want it. Some of these cheaper newer mics are EQ'd for a top heavy metal sound, which is a complete turn off to me. You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. MD works awesome on kicks. I usually also have a RE20 outside the kick close to the resonant head or if there's no head near the edge of the drum. In the past we have gotten a really farty ringy kick tone, but we are using someone else's kit for this recording, so I'm not sure that this is gonna be as much of a problem.
