--- Part 2: The Boundary Mics - inside the bassdrum ---

In this video you hear the boundary mics in the bassdrum without any other kick mics.


This is the first part of a series of videos from my latest Bassdrum Mic Shootout. It covered five dynamic microphones and three boundary mics.


- Shure Beta 52a
- Beyerdynamic TG-D70
- EV RE320 (Kick-EQ enabled)
- Beyerdynamic M88TG
- Beyerdynamic M201 TG
- Behringer BA19a
- Shure Beta 91a
- Beyerdynamic TG-D71


The whole series will cover the mics in different positions and solo/combined with the boundary mics inside the bassdrum. All audio of the bassdrum microphones is totally unprocessed - no EQ, no FX, no Compression. Only slight normalization was used in order to match levels between the group.
The drumset was recorded with a pair of Oktava MK012 cardioid Overheads, a SM57 on the snare and a AKG C414B-ULS in omni mode as a room mic. The four bassdrum mics (3x boundary, 1x dynamic at a time) were preamplified with the Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB preamps - the other mics were brought into the Clarett via ADAT lightpipe from a separate preamp. All recordings were made with Fs 48 kHz and 24 bit. Processing was done in Samplitude Pro X3.


Stay tuned for the other parts of this series to come!
