thanks - I've never tried that. If I've had a 2nd BD mic it's always been placed on the batter side. The one inside gives you that extra click then.
Thats right, the closer you place it, generally more click and less bottom end. There is always a magic spot so you need to move it in and out of the drum.
The mic on the inside picks up the beater better than having a mic on the pedal side, when you think about it it's only the drum skin isolating the beater sound, and having it inside the drum lets you position the mic in a much better place.
I use the sub kick to pick up more air pressure to move the speakers and add sub to the kick, by blending the inside mic and the sub kick (speaker) you can add low end body. I have also set up with a D112 inside the kick and a large Diaphragm condenser on the outside instead of the sub kick speaker. This has a different sound but still picks up extra low end of the kick drum.
