Bass drum mic recommendations

Recommended Posts

So... price is king! I've looked into the Beta 52, the Audix D4 and AKG D112, all good mics apparently, but all nearly £150.

Can anybody recommend a suitable mic for mic'ing up a kick drum on a budget? I'm looking for deep but tight thump, as a lot of our music is driven on the kick.

Cheers if you can help

Good evening, Cameltoe (Cameltoe..? Are you sure..?)...

You could do worse than these...

...Excellent value quality/price, with a leaning towards quality, imho.

I've even fitted one of these inside my (Camco...) bass drum; that'll show you how highly I rate them.

Hope this helps...

Heard quite a lot of good things about these:

Scroll down to the RVD1 at the bottom.
