[QUOTE="Phil Lewandowski, post: 26649, member: 44"] Re: Internal Bass Drum Mic Thanks for the input guys, Phil; He is planning to mount it to a sort of cushion underneath it, so do you think that will be enough to help with the vibrations? Bennett; it seems like the reason he is leaning towards a boundary type mic is to avoid the clutter of a large mic, and apparatus and such in the bass drum. The reason being is he is getting a little older and this kit he just bought is becoming his "lightweight" kit when he has to lug it around himself. I have used a single original SM91 in 2 of his kits and with almost no EQ gotten very workable sound. (Maybe a 3dB boost below 100hz.) He tunes his kick drums to have a very round sound with lots of "round" thump so to say. From the sounds of it, this newer beta91a is much closer to the original SM91 than the original beta91 was, so I like to hear that. In that case are there any other boundary type mics that you would suggest over the Beta91a since he mentioned his first choice isn't trying to chase down a SM91. Thanks much, Phil P.S. This isn't really "forever and ever," just looking for a convenient, lightweight, and non-obtrusive way to get a decent sounding mic in there. [/QUOTE]
