Re: Internal Bass Drum MicHey Phil, I'm inclined to say stick with external miking. I think it's just a matter of finding the sweet spot and then getting him to position the mic in the same spot each time. You could go with a shorty stand or a clamp of some sort - maybe an LP Claw, Shure A56D, or Audix DFLEX with a Heil PR-40 or Beyerdynamic M-88? Either way, if he tunes his drums like you say he does, I'm sure each lug has a name. See where the best tone/isolation ratio is and then make a note for that spot: "Place mic between Harry and Sue, 2 inches from the head, and at a 45-degree angle" (or whatever it happens to be that works best).
