[QUOTE="Phil Lewandowski, post: 26665, member: 44"] Re: Internal Bass Drum Mic The main goal of this kit now is he was looking for a light and small kit, of course assuming a great sounding quality kit as well, that he could easily tote back and forth to gigs when he doesn't have a roadie. He also would like a kit with a closed front head for his jazz gigs he does, so this seemed like the perfect kit as it is over 30% lighter than his main Yamaha Beech, Birch, and Maple kits he gigs. IIRC, the main reason for the internal mic is to keep it consistent since the gigs that he will use this kit at will not be at the most well-endowed clubs gear and engineer wise. (Although could be much worse. So to answer your question, I'd say a bit of both. ---- I definitely agree with you about mics and mic'ing techniques for closed front head drums and I am sure it would not be to hard at all to get a good sound mic'ing the front and/or back heads of this bass drum. And I think this all goes back to the first question to make things all around easier for sound guy du jour and hopefully to keep his IEM mix a touch more consistent. Thanks, Phil [/QUOTE]
