Well, the thing I didn't like about it on the kick (I was skeptical to begin with), is that it had very little low-end to it as compared to a Beta52a or D112. I am more used to those mics. The AT Kick/Tom mic sounded better than a 57 on the kick. But still lacked the low end punch. It had a good amount of smack, but so much that it was boxy without much low frequencies.guitarfreak12 said:what about them on the kick isn't good? I bought them anyway, but I would like to know what is bad with them, I don't know much about kick drum recording anyway.
