This one is a bit of a doozy, and I promise that this is the last video we do of this type.
We're looking at 15 different kick drum mics in 4 different kick configurations and 23 mic positions for each mic and config. This is meant to be a reference video and not something to just sit and watch or listen to. There are over 500 kick samples contained in this video for reference.

Special thanks to @drumagna for loaning us a couple of these mics and setting up the kick drum for this video (and playing on part of it) This was a HUGE undertaking!
*****NOTE*****
This video is not meant to be watched straight through!

Choose the setup that matches closest to how you normally setup your kick drum and check out that section to hear the results.

For the PACKED examples, we used a muffled EMAD2 batter head with the kick packed with a foam surround and a big down pillow

For the NO PACK examples, we used a muffled EMAD2 batter head with only a small rolled towel or kick pad inside (very open sound but controlled)

Reso head is an EMAD2 Reso with Port (where applicable)

INSIDE = Mic 3" from beater center
PORT = Mic just inside port (where possible)
OUTSIDE = Mic 12" from front skin (or where front skin would be)

The mics follow the SAME order each time where applicable (the BL8 mic is ONLY used in the inside position).
The order is as follows:
Audio Technica ATM25
Shure Beta52a
sE BL8 Flat
sE BL8 Classic
sE BL8 Modern
Audix D6
AKG D12E
AKG D12VR Flat

Apologies but because of the length of the video, I was not able to time stamp each mic change (the length of the timestamps exceeded the space for the description)
