	Shure Beta 52A Kick Drum Mic and more Percussion at GuitarCenter.com.
		Your kick drum is the most important sound in the mix.
		This is the "Industry Standard" of kick drum mics.
		I originally bought the Audix Kick drum mic that is supposed to be so great, but I returned it and bought this one.

	How to Record a Kick Drum
		The fact is that the sound of the kick is often critical to the success of a mix, particularly in rock, dance, and other types of music for which the bass drum plays a foundational role.
		The double-headed kick drum with a hole or port in the resonant head is popular among drummers in many styles because of its versatility.
		Generally, single-headed kick drums are at their best when muffled, typically with a blanket or large pillow resting snugly against the lower portion of the batter head.

	Kick Drum Tuning
		By acoustic impact I mean that the removal of head material does affect the bass portion of the note coming from the drum.
		A Typical tuning method is to have the batter head control the attack portion of the sound and the resonant head to control the “sustain” portion of the sound.
		A fat kick drum is achieved the same way a “fat” tom sound is achieved.

	Bass/Kick drum tuning (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As for any drum, while you have the heads removed, give the bearing edges a wipe with a soft cloth, and the inside of the hoops, the inside of the drum, and even the lugs.
		If you lay the drum on one end and hit the head lightly with a stick, you will notice that just by laying some light cloth over 1/4 of the kick drum head that all ringing after the initial punch is gone.
		What causes the most wear and tear on a kick head is the impact of the beater, and the heat generated from the friction between the head and the beater.

	How to create fat kick drum samples \| Bass drum
		Once a nice, basic kick is achieved, treating it with two of the mastering engineer's favorite tools is often the next step.
		That is perfect if, for example, you want to push the sub of your kick without emphasizing the higher frequencies (which often affect the tone of the attack), or vice-versa.
		That is one of the keys to achieving great mixes, both in the case of kick drums and in general: You want to avoid too many overlapping frequencies.

	Bass drum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are three general classifications of bass drums: the concert bass drum, the 'kick' drum, and the pitched bass drum.
		In a drum kit, the bass drum is much smaller, most commonly 20" or 22" but sizes from 16" to 24" are quite normal, with depths of 14" to 18", although some brands have made 20" sizes.
		Double bass drum techniques were first used by artists such as Ray McKinley as far back as the 1940s, and then further pioneered by artists such as Louie Bellson in the 1950s and popularised in the 1960s by Ginger Baker of Cream and Keith Moon of the Who.

	Jeffrey Ryan Smoots Progressive Music - Drum Sequencing Tips
		Kick drum(s) - Usually in the center of the kit.
		On some drum machines (and samplers), different velocities trigger a different drum sound as well as a different drum volume, just as a drum sounds different when hit at different levels of force.
		In sequencing drums, you can achieve this effect by sliding all the snare drum hits forward a few ticks (also known as pulses-per-quarter-note, or timing resolution, ticks are divisions of a quarter note; most sequences use a resolution of 120 ticks per quarter note).

		This is an alternative from making a kick drum with your lips and sounds very realistic when made into a mic at close range.

	Moulton Laboratories :: Principles of Multitrack Mixing: The Kick Drum/Bass Relationship
		The kick drum and the bass guitar are fundamental.
		The kick drum is the driving force, the rock and roll motor that makes our body move (in a contemporary echo of the primeval march of the nomad...).
		As a result, the kick drum is typically rhythmic and the bass usually harmonic.

	Drum Recording: A Weak Kick Drum Can Nearly Ruin Your Snare Drum Tone
		While the solution is simple (hit the kick drum harder!!) I think this situation sheds some light on understanding the relationships between the various microphones used in a typical drum recording session.
		In fact, the snare drum, while very thin sounding (due to being picked up by the kick drum's microphone), is not that much lower in level than the kick drum.
		Also, I was having trouble keeping the kick drum sounding natural through the gate because of the timing of the gate opening and closing.

		Kick Drum Mics: Large diaphragm dynamic cardioid mic rated for high pressure and low frequencies such as the AKG D112, the Shure Beta52A, the Audix D6, the Sennheiser E602, etc.
		Using two microphones on the kick drum, you will have so many options for carving your sound, and all you will have to do in post-production is balance between the two inputs.
		Unlike the kick drum, where one microphone will suffice to musically illustrate what a kick drum sounds like, you have to use two microphones on the snare drum in order to correctly illustrate what a snare drum sounds like.

	Music Connection: Recording Tips, Miking a kick drum
		Take a large "sound absorb" blanket and drape it over the drum and the chair to create a "tunnel" (the large mic will be at the end of the tunnel).
		The blanket steers away the potential mic bleed from the other drum voices, allowing the large mic to pick up the distant, "woof" of the kick.
		The smaller mic in the kick will pick up the "click" and the distant mic will provide the "boom." You can sum them to taste to one channel or record both to separate tracks and blend them during the mixing process.

	Drum Machines - Creating Killer Drum Grooves
		And once rhythm composers leave the cozy confines of a straightforward beat (for example, kick on beats 1 and 3, snare on beats 2 and 4, 16th notes on the hi-hats), they're often in uncharted waters.
		Moving the position of a kick drum downbeat from 000 to 002 or 003 often gives the groove a more natural give and take.
		Drum 'n' bass artists, like the Prodigy or Chemical Brothers, gleefully storm along at speeds of 140 and 150 beats per minute, while TLC and R Kelly like to shimmy about at a groovy snail's pace of 60 or 70 beats per minute.

		The one thing is that there might be different dynamics with the kick drum, but if you take some time you can change the volume levels of different hits to make it sound even more real.
		It all depends on the drum, the room, the player, etc. There is no one cut-and-dried micing technique, especially for drums.

	Getting Good Kick Drum Sounds with Geoff Ott \| Line Out \| The Stranger's Music Blog \| The Stranger \| Seattle's Only ...
		Generally I prefer something the size of t-shirt or small towel to fold into a rectangle and lay in the bottom of the drum with approx 2” extra at each end to lay across the head for a little dampening.
		There are two basic spots to place the inside mic: one is all the way in the drum about 4” away from the beater head aimed right at the point of the beater attack.
		It was sort of awkward at first, especially since my parents showed up at the studio to say hi, but it made the drummer more comfortable to play in his birthday suit since it was the way he was use to playing.
