AKG D112 Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone

Love it. Highly recommended.

Great sound for drums, very well made, good quality.It doesn't come with a cable, if you do not have a cable then you will need to buy a cable or you will not be able to test it when it arrives, the mic end is XLR, the other end suited for what you are connecting it to.

I purchased this as a gift. It was exactly what was wished for!

Being in sound reinforcement for so long I remember when this mic first came out. It's not only great for Kick (Bass Drum), I find it useful in other areas, also the only mic I know of without pressure limitations (will not distort from too high of Sound Pressure Levels). Also found and like to use these on all of larger drums because they sound even yet larger with these when properly placed when mounted. When mixing make sure you have all your highs and upper mids swept up and maxed for that superior click along with the deep punch! (for different boards, you will have to play a bit to get to the sweet spots for your ultimate click!) With stringed bass buy yourself a really good direct box. Also want these mounted as close to the opposing side of the striking surface without letting them get hit from BD beaters or sticks for even more bass response. It's the nature of the beast with all cardioid pattern mics. The closer to the inside striking surface, the deeper the bass response. Also many DJ's like them for the natural high end frequency roll off for smoother and a bassier talking voice.Good luck out there, and make sure you don't loose these mic clamps for the other generic ones will not work for this mic. Watch out, China is coping these and are complete junk. If they do not have MADE IN AUSTRIA stamped into the stems metal, it's A FAKE and they sound terrible!Looks like Amazon needs more than just 3 in stock.Myself wants to order at least 6 to start.

if youre a gigging drummer, bass drum needs to mic,, this is the best mic for bass drum

Lovely, I use this on the floor tom not on the bass Sm7 has those duties. But sounded good on the bass, if slightly clicky.
