The past couple of weeks however I've been trying out a few mics and have come up with an interesting combination.
Sennheiser Evo 602 and the (all famous) AKG D112.
The 602 is a great mic for that low end thump of the kick. Make sure your drum is padded well, and put the 602 in the centre. Inside the padding or out (play around with it)
The D112 is a great well known kick drum mic. However i found that "backing it up" with the 602 was a great move (especially after compression, EQ etc)
Place the D112 more to the outside of the kick, right on the edge, just slightly inside. maybe even have it pointing slightly at the shell of the drum, this will be great for the attack.
Here are some "crude" images for you to see what waffling on about!
Bad artist huh? I'll get a photo or two next week!
When mixing, think of the D112 as the "Click" Mic, and the 602 as you "Tone" mic, its much easier to mix when thinking like that (in my opinion anyway)
Im not going on here about HOW to mix a kick drum sound, thats for another post... maybe?
Below are some pics of the mic, and the average price!
EVO 602. Around £120 / 141 EUR / $190
AKG D112 Around the same price!!
