[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 26675, member: 316"] Re: Internal Bass Drum Mic Hey 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 [URL="http://www.lpmusic.com/Product_Showcase/Claws_and_Brackets/lp_mic_claw.html"]LP Claw[/URL], [URL="http://store.shure.com/store/shure/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.104213700"]Shure A56D[/URL], or [URL="http://www.audixusa.com/docs/products/DFLEX.shtml"]Audix DFLEX[/URL] 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).
