Hello I recently purchased a Shure Beta 52 kickdrum mic and I'm very excited to use it. Before I do, however, I have a question because this is my first kick drum mic to use for home recording.
For mellow indie rock style, I have a bass with no hole in the head. Should I cut a hole into it? Also, would it sound best putting the mic in front of the kick drum aimed at the center, or have a hole with the mic pointed into the hole?
What about putting this mic inside the drum?
i guess I'll have to experiment to know for sure. Thanks.
