Md421 kick drum

We had a small gig this weekend where we had to provide the PA and my drummer decided to rent a MD for his bass drum just for kick pun intended. I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to boost the lows a bit, but the result was a really tight sound that had just the right balance of thump and click technical terms here With the typical bass drum mic, his kick is always too md421 kick drum or too bassy, md421 kick drum.

While I like the idea of having this mic, I have to think about it's real practical application in my case, which would probably be kick drum, since I don't do much acoustic stuff So, my question is, on a stage full of marshall stacks, would an MD really do the kick drum any justice, or should I just hold out and get something like an Audix D6 for kick? I don't really think I can buy both at once.

Most notably that it is barely functional.

I realize this is an industry standard, but this has to be genre specific, right? I am not experienced with recording by any means, but the thought of using an md for metalcore double bass craziness drives me bonkers I have also heard of a 57 being used, and all I can say is that I could see these on like an indie pop type of recording where the bass is kinda there but more subconcious than anything else, but not on a metal recording, am I right? We have a pair of AKG condensers I can never remember the exact model because they aren't mine we use as overheads, we slap a 57 on the snare, and an Audix d6 on the kick In the past we have gotten a really farty ringy kick tone, but we are using someone else's kit for this recording, so I'm not sure that this is gonna be as much of a problem.

When the going gets tough, should the tough get a Sennheiser's drum kit microphone set? With the many different combinations of microphone types and positions used by recording engineers when miking up drum kits, Sennheiser have taken the very sensible step of compiling two sets of mics that have been proven to give good results. The MDs are specifically designed for drum use particularly snare and toms , their short bodies solving most of the positioning problems experienced with standard microphones. The integral clip assembly enables the mic to be mounted directly onto the drum rim, eliminating the need for stands. The MDs are dynamic cardiod mics with a usable frequency range of 40Hz to 18kHz, and although they may not appear very sensative at 1. As with the rest of the mics in the kit, the body terminates in a conventional, balanced XLR connector. The MD is most often seen on toms or even used for vocals, so it may seem an odd choice for a bass drum mic. However, it is a very flexible microphone, capable of withstanding huge sound pressure levels, and has a decent amount of bass extension — if ever a dynamic mic deserved to be called a Jack of all trades and master of most of them, the MD is probably it. Technically, the MD seems similar to any other dynamic cardioid mic, but the resulting sound is clearly defined, yet at the same time, solid.

One trick I did learn about was to place it "one click off" from the M "music" setting, and then make it up at the console. But if you're looking for a mic to accurately reproduce the sound of the kick then the is a good choice. I'm creating this thread to get some suggestions on kick mics I might like based on the criteria mentioned above. For the metal bands I have an Alesis drum module laying around with ddrum triggers.

I was hesitant to buy it because I read an article with a Sennheiser who talked about vintage parts becoming hard to find these days. While I like the idea of having this mic, I have to think about it's real practical application in my case, which would probably be kick drum, since I don't do much acoustic stuff Originally posted by where Again, don't get too exicted, IMHOn the is pretty lightweight in the low end department and far to mid colored, and you most certainly can have too much low end live, in fact that's my biggest complaint about most live shows. Never had the pleasure of micing a kick drum with an RE, though. It's a good all around mic, and can sound great on kick. Originally posted by Weathered. The is definately a good kick mic.

Why do I need cymbal overheads? I don't really think I can buy both at once. Originally posted by where I've never been a fan of 's on anything. However, I've never heard it in person. But I know it's hard to keep something you don't or won't use very often even though that is how you build a mic collection that gives you the best selection for the task and makes you the envy of all your friends and clinets. I use it in the drum or at the hole, and prefer it to the D, also. Post by Mustang Martigan » Mon Jan 09, am. The is a bit too scooped sounding for my tastes. In the past we have gotten a really farty ringy kick tone, but we are using someone else's kit for this recording, so I'm not sure that this is gonna be as much of a problem influences of ours are Botch, Narcissus, Drowningman, Norma Jean, Poison the Well, Craw, Every Time I Die Start new topic. The atm25 is also a very versatile mic that is good for kick as well as many other applications.
