This is a very well put together mic, and i have had no problems with it whatsoever, contrary to some other people. I place it in the soundhole facing directly into the drum, which is where i got my best sound, but this mic is more low end then the punchy click of a metal bass drum i was looking for. I had to EQ it alot and use lots of effects, but i eventually got the sound i was looking for. If you play metal and are going to buy this, make sure you know what you are doing as far as mastering goes.

I bought this in the Pro Pak about three years ago. Although it has held up pretty good, I did have to replace one of the tom mics after a few months. This baby has ows like thunder (kinda like a muddier D6) but has very little attack. You pretty much have to lower all of the frequencies around 2-4KHz nad boost your volume to get decent beater smack attack. I used it on a recording and anded up replacing the kick with a sampled kick (thank God for technology). I now use it at my church where it works well because the sound stage is at a low enough volume to hear the natural sound of the kit without mics.

Works for me!

Picked this mic up a year or so because the price was right. Have not been disappointed. I use it on an 18" bass drum with a solid front head. Because of this we actually usually mic it from the batter head, at a 60º angle or so, about a third of the way in from the outer edge of the drum. My sound man hasn't complained about it, so like I said, works for me.

Amazing. No feed back, no problem handling the SPL, and sounds exactly like the drum. Could probably record a thunder storm or earth quake. Got to hand it to CAD and the Chinese on this one. Great product.

Good low end but tight and punchy. I mike my 2-10 cab with this plus run direct to the board.
