[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 27097, member: 126"] Re: Internal Bass Drum Mic "no fuss, no muss..." No tone... A truly educated drummer should make your job easier if he cares about what the audience hears as "his sound". I can't ignore a suggestion it could ever be fine, to not tune drums for obvious reasons, but I expect the kick to be far less demanding in this regard. The way they are typically played, is with a fixed beater position exciting mainly the fundamental resonance series (thump sound), so poor lug match (head clearing) will not usually express as a mish-mash of overtone series like from a poorly tuned tom (not that drums are ever not somewhat dissonant but the difference between simple overtone series and noise). The kickport accessory generates some extra lower frequency content than normal for a given size drum head, which could be lower than a marginal SR system can easily handle (or not). Perhaps interesting for acoustic gigs to make your bass drum sound 10' tall, (and perhaps for recording) but not where I'd try to focus for tight reinforced drum sounds. JR [/QUOTE]
