Yeah, the Beta 52 is the good kick mic. Way better than the Sennheiser e602 I foolishly bought--the tracks recorded with the Shure just sit way better in a mix.

The drummer from Call Me Lightning uses a concert drum that he mounted spurs on as a kick. It sounds PHENOMENAL. There's nothing like a big honkin' kick drum.

If its tuned correctly, nothing is worse than something that is tuned too high, and ringy. One of these tuned too low, probably wont be a problem as long as you have a mic that can detect 40Hz and below.



......that drum is bigger than 6 humans!

Yeah, the tuning thing goes without saying. I hate it when drummers don't understand tuning and they wind up tuning all of their kit super tight because they like the bouncy response and can do double taps on their kick pedal way easier. No drums sound good without proper tuning.
