Yet Another Kick Drum Mic Shootout

[mobtownstudios]

A bunch of local (Baltimore) producers and engineers get together monthly and hang and talk about records (and drink beer). We decided to do a shootout. It's not perfect and I am sure we are missing mics, but I thought to share here.

Hope everyone is well....

Nice side by side info....Would have liked to heard a 602 and a D6. I liked that last one...Sounded like a sample

Not to harsh on your shootout, which I very much enjoyed, but I'd love to hear a shootout where all the mics were compared placed where they each sounded best and then normalized for volume, rather than all in the exact same spot. The latter would seem to favor whatever the first mic was. I'd also love to hear them mixed with some overheads or something. Sometimes a mic might sound thin or whatever solo'd but just perfect in the mix.

I use the Nd 868 for kick but i loved the blue mouse sound! I would mix that with the cascade.
Good work
what about an original d12 in there? and compare that to a d112

Thanks for sharing and having other useful gear info on the site, that rawks! Totally informative. I love the way you laid-out samples for ease comparison, you should keep doing these! Awesome work.

Dear god, what did you do to the 87? I've had one in front of a kick a couple times and it's never sounded that screwed up.

Fyi for folks that enjoyed this, theres another good kick drum mic comparison on recordinghacks. I think it was posted very recently
