Performers are at the mercy of their microphones. If you do not have nice-condition mics, you cannot pick up class harmony. And no one wishes to hear a crummy representation of a melody you worked so rigorously on. One theme that seems to generate a lot of uncertainty is kick-drum microphones. It is perhaps handy to appreciate what kinds (and how many types) of kick drum mics there are, so here are the broad categories:

Big diaphragm condensers-These will be perfect for singing but also for bass drums

Broadcast Dynamics-These are high-end dynamic mics with level EQ profiles. They can be for kick drums and broadcast.

Dual-Element Mics-These are dedicated kick microphones with two transducers. Each is optimized for getting a different sound.

Perimeter Mics-These are also known as Force Region Microphones or FRMS for short. The perimeter mics present widespread coverage and sparkling pick-up.

Loudspeaker Transducers-These are purpose-built bass instrument microphones. They are formed from amplifier or headset drivers. These are generally excellent at picking up bass frequencies.

Customized Dynamics-These mics have scooped mids. The most popular and renowned bass drum microphones are modified dynamic mics.

Of course, any drummer wants a punchy, high-fidelity sound that will make beats seem professional. But, a further thing to imagine is whether or not your drum microphone gear can be easily disassembled and taken with you everywhere. If you are an instrumentalist, you need have the ease of dependable and transportable equipment for the road. You will also want to make sure your equipment is robust.

In general, any mic can be used as a bass drum mic, but these categories should offer you a gist of what to count on with contrasting types of microphones. Using the right drum microphones can either embellish or weaken the caliber of your recordings, so make sure you have the best gear. Play around with what you have until you have achieved the ultimate sound.
