I read this and agreed with my self than saw it was me.
Anyhow I NOW use the pro 25 for a bass mic and the AKG D112 on the kick drum. I like the sound I get from the D112 with it just inside a 4.5" hole in the resonant head on my little 20"X8" Pearl Rythm Travler kick. I has been set up this way for months.
I do recall that when I decided to leave the "D112 there it was before I found Prof. Sounds Drum Tuning Bible. This is where the great kick sound will originate, no matter what mic you use.

philsaudio said:It ought to sound better than the Pro25! It cost almost 10x as much ---- but that logic did not work for me and my Sennheiser 421! To MY EARS the little $59.00 Audio Technica Pro 25 sounds better on MY KICK than the 421 which weighs in at 5x the price.
Since I am not a professional recording studio the price factor carries a lot of weight.
