@RiverSteelBand The best and cheapest way that we in Thorr-Axe have found to put holes in kick drums is this: 1.) Take a coffee can or a slightly smaller can (larger than a normal soup can) and remove the wrapper off of it. 2.) Turn on a stove top burner to the highest temperature it can go to. Wait for it to reach maximum heat. While the burner is warming up, take the bass drum head and place it over the kitchen sink. Mark somehow where you want the hole to go on the head.
@AudixMics101 i have a live concert on december in closed theatre..and i don't many things about miking drums..i will put a mic in the bass drum with the resonant head on without hole!!and god help me!!!thank you!
Hello, The answer is "Yes", a kick drum can sound very good with the front head on, especially in a studio . The biggest challenge is that the microphone is much more exposed to the room and if you are on a live stage, then the microphone will be more prone to picking up other instruments on stage and not be as isolated as when inside the kick drum. You have to experiment to see what works!
@Metallicagr696 A slightly more expensive option is to mount a mic inside your kick drum. I've always found that not having a hole tends to lead to feedback especially if the drummer is slightly hard of hearing. With my drummer I currently run 3 channels. Trigger, Shure Beta 91, and an Audix D6. We always have the trigger and the 91 running to our in ears and all 3 going to FOH. A friend of mine has the entire D-series mounted internally and his kit always sounds amazing.
@RiverSteelBand His advice works, but if you already have a bass drum resonant head that doesn't come with a hole in it there is a little trick I picked up that is perfect. Take a coffee can and a mini blowtorch. Take the blow torch and heat the rim of the coffee can. Then take the heated rim of the coffee can and push it gently but firmly onto where you want the hole to be. There you go. The coffee can is the perfect size, it's clean, and simple. Hope that works for ya!
@DangerDeems - hey man im new at this ti but if u want to record music using ur Computer .. it comes to 3 standerd tips one is having a great fast and super strong Computer and with a Daw or a recording softwere 2. . is that u need sum drum microfones i recamend trying Shure brand for drums sum are realy good price and has great saund and 3 is having som mic preamps " u may not need them is up to you...but i recomend cuz mic preamps give a lot more juice to work with as they give a lauder saund
@Metallicagr696 get a bass drum shock mount they screw onto the inside of ur bass so u can put the mic in with a head on the front and its suppose to give u a pefect micing position too
sorry for my ingnorance but im bearly starting to know hot to mic drums... so, where are does mics conected? or what do i need to connect them and put them on the pc?
@KoRnflakes22 That's awesome that it worked. I recently got a Shine Drum set and the resonant head was a coated white one, so I had to really heat the coffee can to get it to go through. It wasn't my idea to do it. Some one told me about it, and now I told you guys about it. Just keep passing it along:-p
Hi.if the resonant head of the kick hadn't a hole,the sound isn't good??or if we miking the resonant head of kick without a hole will sound good???i have a resonant head with a tattoo allover the head and i don't want to cut it and i wanna put a mic in the bass drum..does it work?good sound?PLEASE RESPOND ME SOME ONE QUICKLY!!!!THANKS A LOT!AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
@RiverSteelBand Search on youtube...the best way is to take a heated, empty can and burn it into the head so that there's no rips. Worked great for me, but make sure you don't burn shit...or yourself...

Yes, your new video sounds good - nice job on the kick and snare!

I can imagine audix mikes making live mixing a funner experience.

I've been using the AKG D112, would love to compare the two side by side. I've heard good and not so good things about both.
Hi, there are kits for doing this - it is best to go online to one of the head manufacturers like Evans or Remo.
@DiobloHunter You welcome :). I love getting new resonant heads for my bass drum. Playing with fire is just a whole lot of fun!

Do you plug mics into amps for them to work?
Do these come as part of the set perhaps with the i5 ?

@RiverSteelBand you can buy a resonant bass drum head that already has the hole in them
