It may not be the best single mic for kick drum: but adding it in with another mic like the beta 52 or akg d112 or audx d6 immediately brings out the snap of the kick. This mic adds tons of definition so you can get a full-bodied kick sound that is more than just boom. Terrific mic.
If the drummer doesnt have a porthole in the kick stab one out so you can use this mic.

Et quand on regarde de plus près, effectivement la prise bouge et la solidité de l'emplacement laissé à désirer.
Et j'ai l'impression que c'est le cas sur beaucoup de micros de cette même gamme.
En effet, j'ai eu plusieurs témoignages à qui le même pb est arrivé, soit dès la 1ere utilisation, soit très peu de temps après..
Étant batteur pro, j'étais très attiré par le produit avec la facilité de le poser directement dans la grosse caisse sans passer par un pied externe... mais après l'avoir touché du doigt, en plus du prix assez élevé, je le déconseille fortement !
