[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 26817, member: 445"] Re: Internal Bass Drum Mic Well, this conversation went from a how to do something to a sounds debate fast! Love it. I worked with a band for a few years where the drummer used a closed head system. What we did was take a flange and 6 inch goose neck and mounted the D112 directly in the center of the drum. Then we drilled a hole to install a D series connector on the shell so it only needed an xlr. This worked great for years, playing 4-5 shows a week. Your guy just needs to be willing to drill some holes in his kit. The big considerations we had was of course sound. The D112 was the mic we wanted to use and it lends itself to internal placement. The next big thing is stability of the mic in travel. The 91 didn't really mount well and as Bennett stated, it would have only been part of the sound. The 91 by itself would have been inappropriate for this Americana sound. Other large diaphram mics want to live outside of the drum, although you could put a 52 in there. [/QUOTE]
