Placement is critical. When you get that right this microphone does an amazing job. I went on the Shure website and read a little about what they recommend for placement and use. Trick is to get a little pillow for it to sit on and make sure the front head on the drum is deadened a bit. Place 6" from beater w/ roll off switch on. Very solid sound.

I have been using an Akg D112 which I was happy with. But this mic is far better sounding. Much fatter kick drum sound with minimal eq. Very happy.

Not having a kick mic stand on stage makes a cleaner stage and less chance of it getting kicked over on the tight small stages . Don't forget to turn on phantom power

Every Kick Drum needs one! I hung it in the Kick with the Kelly Shu Flatz system. The Kelly Shu Flatz trapeze also holds my blanket in place inside the drum so it doesn't move around. Very happy I purchased it! Thank You Shure & Kelly Shu Flatz.

This microphone has great low in response, coupled in a nice small package, and no bulky Transformers or extra wires. Awesome microphone.

I've used these in the past with great results so I finally decided just to get one. This paired with a sub kick or other large diaphragm mic on the out side of the kick and you're r golden!

all I did was plug it in. I didn't have to change anything on the mixer. It immediately sounded like what I was looking for. Amazing.

This is absolutely the "secret sauce" kick drum mic for rock, metal, and modern music in general. Simple to use, just sounds great!

Brilliant. Great PHAT sound out of my DW Kick Drum. PLUS, you don't have to worry about the old mic stand getting kicked or knocked over by other musos, as it sits on the pillow in the drum. Great Investment.
