Has anyone used this mic for live or recording? I'm thinking about getting it and just laying it on the pillow i have in the kick drum..will that work?
thanks!

will that thing even fit through the hole thats in most drumheads? seems like the most common hole size that i see is about 4 inches like on the aquarian super kick.

anyway i've never really heard anything positive about the ball series at all. thats just the way that it seems to be

i have one

I have on and its really not bad for what im doing which is classic rock and folk rock its pretty nice if you put it just inside the skin pointing at the beater. Im pretty sure itll fit through the hole. Well it does on my drummers kick.

It will fit in a 4" hole, but just barely.... The trick is that you must hold onto the XLR connector when putting it in the drum, as there's no room for fingers on a 4" hole. For this reason my standard front head has a 5" hole, offset.
Good sounding cheap mic, I keep one in my home kick, either use it or not; or sometimes a B52 or PR40 in the hole, just depends what one's after. Sounds great close miking a floor tom, either above or under.
Wouldn't dream of supplying it for a pro gig for some touring band, just 'cos nobody has heard (of) it, but for local groups playing a bar.... seems to work.
Hope this helps.
