Sorry if this question has been asked before, the search doesn't seem to be workin. I want to catch more of the low end on a kick drum and I want to know if putting a condenser in front of the kick could potential ruin the condenser mic. I have an extra kick drum shell here and I was planning on putting the condenser inside to minimize leakage along with a kick drum mic on the inside to catch the beater. I also have an 8" woofer that I could place inside to catch the low end. I have used it and it sounds ok with the beater mic. I would rather put a LDC inside though because I feel like it would create better results. Can someone help me out? I didnt want to try this and ruin a good mic, thats an expensive mistake.

Thanks in advanced!
