[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 14562, member: 67"] Re: What kick drum mic would you use? In no particular order: Beyer M-380. So big, so full, so 1 3/8'' diaphragm. So Hyper it's nearly figure-of-8. Plan accordingly. Beyer TGX-50. Not so big, nor so full... But it won't pick up the back of BB King's amp. Beyer M-88TG. The real deal. With the right boom/stand combo you can actually aim the mic where it's useful. Sennheiser MD-421. Yes, the 1980s are still with us. If you can aim it where it needs to go, it has a classic sound. AKG D-112. Hermann ze German. Also works on tuba. EV RE-20. SM-57. SM-58. Hey, it works for Ted Nugent's mixerperson. Audix D-6. Beta 52. Do we have to? <sigh> A-T AE2500DE. Yum. So, how's that for the first kick drum mic thread? ''I'll laugh about this, some day...'' Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
